Re: Post Pics of Your Cool/Rare Plants!
I have two fairly young Jaboticaba trees. They grow VERY slowly, so I don't expect to see fruit from the larger one for at least a year. The berries have the texture of a muscadine grape, but taste much better. It will be at lest 5 years before I see anything like this:
I do not own the above image. I found it on the internet while searching 'jaboticaba' images. |

Re: Post Pics of Your Cool/Rare Plants!
Here is another internet picture of one of my trees. Again, my tree is very young and will not fruit for at least another year.. but this is what I hope to see in a few years:
This is a 'cacao' tree. The seeds of these fruit are used to make commercial chocolate. |

Re: Post Pics of Your Cool/Rare Plants!
Awesome! What do they taste like? With a name like 'sugar apple' it has quite a reputation to uphold.

Re: Post Pics of Your Cool/Rare Plants!
Oh wow they are incredible!!! As they fall from the tree they are at their peak and ready to eat and you have to eat it right there and then or else it gets mushy. The flavor is unique and delicious.
