Escarlate Jaboticaba (approch graft)

Escarlate Jaboticaba (Plinia cauliflora ‘Escarlate’)

Escarlate Jaboticaba is a premium hybrid variety of the Brazilian Jaboticaba, cherished for its incredibly fast fruiting, beautiful appearance, and delicious flavor. Unlike most jaboticaba trees that take many years to bear fruit, Escarlate is a precocious cultivar—often producing fruit in just 2–3 years, even when grown in pots.

This variety is named “Escarlate” for the vibrant, deep reddish-purple color its fruits develop when ripe. The fruit grows directly on the trunk and branches (cauliflorous fruiting), creating a striking visual display. Its round berries are medium-sized, with a thin skin and juicy, sweet pulp that has a tropical grape-like flavor with a hint of acidity.

Escarlate Jaboticaba is ideal for home gardeners, collectors, and rare fruit enthusiasts due to its compact size, early production, and beauty. It thrives in warm, humid climates and prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Whether grown in the ground or containers, Escarlate is a rewarding tree with frequent fruiting cycles throughout the year under proper care.
