Original price was: $ 5,00.Current price is: $ 4,50.

Discover one of the most unique and elegant jaboticaba species: Plinia oblongata, affectionately nicknamed Jabuticaba-Phonema. Native to southeastern Brazil and sometimes referred to locally as “jaboticaba agachada” (the “crouching jaboticaba”), this stunning tree stands out with its low-growing, semi-creeping growth habit. Its branches gracefully arch and often touch the ground, giving it an ornamental, almost bonsai-like aesthetic.

Description

Unlike many jaboticabas, this variety is known for:

  • Compact, weeping growth – ideal for collectors or small gardens

  • Elegant, dark purple fruits with a deliciously sweet-acid balance when ripe

  • Extended post-harvest shelf life – the fruits remain fresh longer after picking

  • Great productivity and strong visual appeal, even before fruiting

While the fruit can taste acidic if picked too early, once fully mature and naturally fallen from the tree, it develops a rich, complex flavor that many enthusiasts describe as one of the finest in the genus.

Rarely found outside Brazil and Paraguay, this species is an exceptional addition to any Plinia collection and offers both beauty and flavor in one unique package.

Family: Myrtaceae
Origin: Southeast Brazil / Paraguay
Hardiness: Tropical/subtropical – protect from frost
Growth: Medium-sized tree (4–6 m), but trainable for compact form
