ORIGIN
Little known outside of their natural habitat, the Jabuticaba, (Myrciaria cauliflora (Veil.) 0. Berg), tree of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae), is South America’s best kept secret. Resembling massive grapes, their fascinating growth on tree trunks resemble octopus tentacles to some. First discovered in the 17th century, part of their rarity comes from their highly perishable nature. Once harvested, Jabuticaba can remain fresh for only less than 7 days.
Jabuticaba was first sown in Taiwan in the 1960s and was then, relocated and planted in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hubei, Guangxi, Jiangsu and Yunnan in the same year. Jabuticaba is getting evolved in Asia especially China, by reason of Jabuticaba being fairly adaptable to various kinds of growing conditions, tolerating sand or rich topsoil.
