Jaboticaba Plinia Phitrantha Otto Andersen Branca Vinho Jabuticaba Fruit Tree
You are purchasing one 3-6 inches tall (pot height is not included) Plinia Phithantha var. ESALQ Jaboticaba (Jaboticaba) Seedling Tree Starter Plant in 2.5'' square pot.
Jaboticaba Plinia Pitrantha var. ESALQ is a special selection of Plinia Phitrantha, which produces sweet delicious fruits, that are quite large up to 4cm in diameter.
The tree is extremely ornamental, having very large leaves, over 4 inch in length, and beautiful wine red new growth.
Phitrantha var. ESALQ can fruit in 3-5 years, as opposed to 6-8 years for regular jaboticaba. Similar growth habit and care as the regular jaboticaba.
It appreciates acid pH, and some shade while it's young (30-50% shade is good when the tree is still less than 4-5ft, especially if you live where it gets over 100F, and there is risk of drought). They can survive down to approximately 27-25F if exposure is brief.
The tree will fruit for many months out of the year, sometimes bearing 2-3 crops or more in one year. Not many growers have fruited this variety yet in the USA, so it is very rare. We do have a fruiting tree we enjoy very much!
ESALQ is an acronym for "Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz".
