Plinia sp. Giant Jaboticaba of Espírito Santo is a truly exceptional and rare jaboticaba‑type fruit tree from the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo, part of the celebrated tropical Myrtaceae group that includes classic jaboticabas. This unique Plinia produces unusually large, deep purple‑black fruits that are exceptionally juicy and sweet, with rich pulp that carries the iconic jaboticaba flavor—similar to grapes with floral and tropical undertones. The plants are admired not just for their fruit quality, but for their striking cauliflorous habit, where clusters of glossy fruit grow directly along the trunk and older branches, creating an extraordinary visual display.
In the wild habitat of Espírito Santo’s Atlantic Forest edge, this species grows as a small to medium tree, often showing vigorous growth and good resilience. While still under taxonomic study and uncommonly found in cultivation, its combination of superb flavor, large fruit size, and ornamental fruiting habit make it a prized and highly collectible jaboticaba for tropical and subtropical fruit enthusiasts.
