Peluda do Mucuri, also known as Blue Velvet Jaboticaba, is a rare and highly attractive jaboticaba native to the forests along the Mucuri River in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This unique tree produces distinctive fruits with a fuzzy, velvety purple skin, giving it strong ornamental appeal. The fruits reach up to 3 cm in diameter and develop directly on the trunk and branches, as is typical for jaboticabas.
The flesh is juicy and very good tasting, making it excellent for fresh consumption. This variety is often compared to the well-known Plinia sp. “Grimal” due to its fruit quality and appearance, though it remains distinct and highly sought after by collectors. Its combination of rarity, beauty, and flavor makes Peluda do Mucuri a standout addition to any jaboticaba collection.
