Plinia sp Hybrid Red Precoce

'Red Hybrid' is a Brazilian hybrid of the species cauliflora and aureana, which has resulted in a cultivar that unlike many jaboticabas that can typically take over 10 years to fruit, red hybrid generally fruits in 3-5 years in good conditions.

Noted for its unusual habit of cauliflory- where the flowers and subsequently its grape like fruits are born directly on the trunk of the tree, a jaboticaba tree certainly earns a place in any fruit tree  or rare plant collection in zones 9a and above.
