Anybody ever seen a fruit that grows on the trunk of the tree?!
Now you have. It's called Jabuticaba. It's a sweet, gooey fruit that takes over the trunk of the tree. You break the skin, eat the sweet, gooey inside and spit the seed out. The darker and bigger the fruit the sweeter it is. Those green ones aren't ready yet and are still pretty bitter tasting.
How fascinating!! Tell us more. Do the fruit come off of the trunk fairly easily? The ripe ones look like plums. What do they taste like?
ReplyDeleteThey do come off pretty easily. And there's not a picture, but before the fruit they are white puffy blooms. mmm hard to describe the taste, they're small like a cherry, a little sour and a little sweet.
