Shireen:

As you can see from the pix, Jaboticabas are pretty shrubby, outside of
bonsai. Flowering of bonsai jabos is rare, and fruiting rarer, but sometimes
you can find a jam made from the fruit in Florida, and easily in Brazil. The
fruit is said not to travel well, so I wouldn't even expect to find it in
ethnic groceries.

There is also a picture of one of Solita Rosades jabos in my report on their
exhibit at the Philly Flower show in the Galleries:

As bonsai, Jabos usually are either tall and slim, or shorter and spreading,
like Soli's.

Regards,

Bart
