The Myrtaceae or myrtle family comprises many genera of fruit trees and shrubs. Five of the most important are: Psidium, which includes the guava; Eugenia, with several species from America such as the Surinam cherry; Syzygium from Asia, which in-cludes the Malay apple; Feijoa or Acca; and Myrciaria, which includes the jaboticabas and other fruits. Cloves, allspice and eucalyptus are also in this family. The number of genera in the family has been reported as being from 130 to 150, with more than 5,600 species in tropical and warm temperate areas of the world. 18

Generally identified as Myrciaria cauliflora Berg. (syn. Eugenia cauliflora DC.), the names jaboticaba, jabuticaba or yabuticaba (for the fruit; jaboticabeira for the tree) actually embrace 4 species of very similar trees and fruits: M. cauliflora, sabará jaboticaba, also known as jabuticaba sabará, jabuticaba de Campinas, guapuru, guaperu, hivapuru, or ybapuru; M. jaboticaba Berg., great jaboticaba, also known as jaboticaba de Sao Paulo, jaboticaba do mato, jaboticaba batuba, jaboticaba grauda; M. tenella Berg., Jaboticaba macia, also known as guayabo colorado, cambui preto, murta do campo, camboinzinho; M. trunciflora Berg., long-stemmed jaboticaba, also called jaboticaba de Cabinho, or jaboticaba do Pará. 9

Origin

M. cauliflora is native to the hilly region around Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, Brazil, also around Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Asunción, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. 9
The jaboticaba has been distributed throughout the world and was introduced into California in 1904. It is found as an ornamental and backyard tree in Hawaii. Some production occurs and is used to make a wine on the Big Island of Hawaii. 15

Description
The jaboticaba ranks as one of the most desirable species for dooryard planting, surpassing citrus in many respects. It is a sensational landscape spedimen, with peeling bark (Fig. 29) and a dense crown of lacy foliage. The fruit deserves equal praise. Aficionados consider the flavor to be the finest of any berry-type fruit. The tree bears profusely and repeatedly. The jaboticaba is highly recommended for planting in south florida and protected areas of central Florida. 6
Its habit of producing the fruit directly upon the trunk and larger limbs, together with the unusual beauty of its symmetrical and umbrageous head of pale green foliage, makes this a peculiarly striking tree. 12

Leaves
The evergreen, opposite leaves, on very short, downy petioles, are lanceolate or elliptic, rounded at the base, sharply or bluntly pointed at the apex; 1 to 4 in (2.5-10 cm) long, 1/2 to 3/4 in (1.25-2 cm) in width. 9
The glossy leaves have a leathery texture and the new growth has a reddish or pinkish color (Fig. 3) that changes to pale yellowish-green before becoming dark green. 6,18

Fig. 8

Flowers
Spectacularly emerging from the multiple trunks and branches in groups of 4, on very short, thick pedicels, the flowers have 4 hairy, white petals and about 60 stamens to 1/6 in (4 mm) long. 9
Its flowers are staminous, cauliflorous, meaning they grow directly on the bark or underbark along the trunk, limbs and branches. This occurs several times a year primarily in late winter and spring. 5
Rain and overhead irrigation are harmful to fruit set during the first 3 days after bloom. Two days after they appear, the flowers begin to desiccate. From this point forward, fruit quality depends on the tree receiving a steady supply of water. 6

Pollination
It has been reported from Brazil that solitary jaboticaba trees bear poorly compared with those planted in groups, which indicates that cross-pollination enhances productivity. 9
Bees are frequently seen visiting the flowers. 15

Fruit
The fruit, borne in abundance, singly or in clusters, on short stalks, is largely hidden by the foliage and the shade of the canopy, but conspicuous on the lower portions of the trunks. Round, slightly oblate, broad-pyriform, or ellipsoid, with a small disk and vestiges of the 4 sepals at the apex, the fruits vary in size with the species and variety, ranging from 1/4 in (6 mm) in M. tenella and from 5/8 to 1 1/2 in (1.6-4 cm) in diameter in the other species. The smooth, tough skin is very glossy, bright-green, red-purple, maroon-purple, or so dark a purple as to appear nearly black, slightly acid and faintly spicy in taste; encloses a gelatinous, juicy, translucent, all-white or rose-tinted pulp that clings firmly to the seeds. The fruit has an overall subacid to sweet, grapelike flavor, mildly to disagreeably resinous, and is sometimes quite astringent. The fruit has been well likened to a muscadine grape except for the larger seeds. 9
The seeds are oval to nearly round measuring 3–10 mm, light brown colored, medium-hard to soft in texture and are usually swallowed with the pulp. Each seed has several embryos because of nucellar embryony. 18
Fruits are not produced on new growth as is common on many other tropical fruit trees. Fruit development is very rapid, usually 1 to 3 months, after flowering. 5,9
The fruit is non-climacteric thus it is harvested at full maturity to obtain the best flavor when the fruit is dark purple or almost black. 18

Varieties Page

Harvesting
Fruit production may occur throughout the year but the heaviest bearing is in late March and April with hundreds of fruit on a large tree. A mature tree may produce 100 pounds of fruit over the course of a season. Yield is not always reliable and may vary form year to year. The fruit should be harvested a few days after maturity. The fruit spoils at room temperature in about two days. 5
One way of not handling the fruit too much is to hose the fruit while on the tree. Remains of old flower petals and leaves stick to the fruit, and hosing them down before picking removes all the debris. 4
Several methods are used for harvesting; one is to rub the fruit off the tree branch or pick them individually. Plant rubbing can be done with a broom or a stick so the fruit will drop to the ground. Putting a canvas under the canopy can help in gathering the fallen fruit. The use of a pipe with an end like a funnel and a hose at the other end can be practical with the rim of the funnel rubbing the fruit, which falls into it and rolls down the hose. The branches can also be shaken and ripe fruit will drop normally. Although the skin is tough careful handling is still recommended. 18
Each harvest season lasts about two weeks. 13

Propagation
Jaboticabas are usually grown from seeds in South America. These are nearly always polyembryonic, producing 4 to 6 plants per seed. They germinate in 20 to 40 days. Selected strains can be reproduced by inarching (approach-grafting) or air-layering. Budding is not easily accomplished because of the thinness of the bark and hardness of the wood. Side-veneer grafting is fairly successful. Experimental work has shown that propagation by tissue culture may be feasible. 9
Production may begin in 4-15 years but usually 8 to 10 years from seed and about 6-7 years from vegetatively propagated. 13
Note: M. cauliflora produces apomictic, polyembryonic seeds where all seedlings are identical to the mother tree. 13

Pruning
It is recommended to leave the first 80 cm of the trunk free of branches and then have three primary vertical branches and later clear excess wood. Production pruning consists of eliminating damaged branches or those overcrowding the canopy to improve light and air penetration. This pruning includes removing ex- cessively vertical interior branches or horizontal branches in older trees. Since fruit are borne on the main trunk and branches, overlapping crowns and hedging are not regarded as adversely impacting yield. Some pruning is sometimes prac- ticed to open up the tree to allow access to the center of the tree. Tree pruning increases the size of the remaining fruit. 18
Without pruning, the tree branches close to the ground and forms a fairly tight network of primary and secondary branches. 3

Fertilizing
In high pH soils, some special attention may be required to provide the proper nutrition. Fertilize it three times a year with a complete fertilizer. Chelated iron can be applied to correct iron deficiency. Be sure other micronutrients are part of the fertilizer mix. 5

Irrigation
Trees should be irrigated regularly during the dry months (November-May in Florida) if it does not rain. 13
Irrigation does promote flowering in the dry season and is recommended in Brazil to avoid flowering in the rainy season when rust can be a problem. 15

Pests
The plant is not often bothered by pests. Aphids, scales, nematodes and spider mites are minor, occasional problems. 5
In Florida, raccoons and opossums make raids on jaboticabas. 9

Food Uses
Squeezing the fruit between the thumb and forefinger causes the skin to rupture and the pulp to slip out for eating. 15
The skin is high in tannin and should not be consumed in large quantities over a long period of time. 1
Ripe jaboticaba fruits are highly nutritious and are mostly eaten as fresh fruit but are also processed to make juice, dry sweet wine, liquor, vinegar, sherbets, compotes, jam, jelly, tarts and marmalade with the addition of pectin. They can be preserved by freezing. 16
"I love to cut them in half and suck the white juicy sweet flesh away from the thick skin. The flesh tends to stick to the seed and if one is patient, one can eventually clean the seed smooth with tongue and teeth. Don loves popping them into his mouth, giving the fruit a munch and swallowing the seed, flesh and juice and then removing the skin." 4

Medicinal Properties **
A decoction made from the sun-dried skins, which is astringent, is used in Brazil as treatment for asthma, diarrhea and dysentery and for chronic inflammation of the tonsils. 16
Attention should be given to excessive consumption of this decoction, which could lead to too much tannin in the body, which is carcinogenic if taken over a long period of time. 9

Other Uses
Jaboticaba has become poular as bonsai plants in Taiwan and the Caribbean. 16
The wood is straight-grained, average texture, moderately heavy, but susceptible to wood-eating organisms. It is only used as a fuel and to make charcoal. 14

Prospects
The jaboticaba is a delicious fruit indigenous to Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina. The fruit is highly esteemed and is commercially cultivated in large quantities in Brazil. Several factors favor its potential establishment in South Florida including the trees' adaptation to our humid subtropical climate, the large Brazilian population that has settled in Florida, and few pest problems. Brazilians are very familiar with the fruit and have high regard for it, thus providing the initial clientele needed for its commercial production. The main drawbacks for commercial production include: the trees slow grow rate, taking 5 to 7 years to begin production; the lack of superior cultivars; difficulty in picking the fruit and; trees are not well adapted to the highly calcareous, high pH soils in southern Miami-Dade County, thus requiring minor element applications. 13

General
The name “jabuticaba” has indigenous origin and it comes from two words: “jabuti” (tortoise), which is the common name given to reptiles of genus Chelonoidis, order Chelonia, family Testudinidae; and “caba”, which means “place”, thus it means the place where one finds tortoises. This designation comes from the presence of these animals near jabuticaba trees; they feed on the fruits that fall to the ground. 17
The Guarani name is yvapurũ, where yva means fruit, and the onomatopoeic word purũ for the crunching sound the fruit produces when bitten. 11
