What a difference two years makes - Jaboticaba

I bought this tree essentially as a twig . . . it is now one of my favorite tree's. I feel the tree has an "african plain" feel to it . . . even though the tree is native to brazil

.

If you've never kept a jaboticaba, they are wonderfully simple tree's to care for. This tree has been trained purely via "clip and grow" and has never been wired. All I do is repot annually in the height of summer using a standard tropical mix, and feed heavily throughout the year.

Enjoy . . . .

Total height (including pot) ~ 12"
