You are purchasing one 2-5 inches tall (pot height is not included) Plinia Phithantha var. OTTO ANDERSEN, BRANCA VINHO jabuticaba tree Jaboticaba (Jabuticaba) Seedling Tree Starter Plant in 2.5'' square pot.
This variety is named after, Otto Andersen, the gentleman who selected it in Brazil, who was a renowned collector of the best Jabuticaba trees. Jaboticaba Plinia Pitrantha var. OTTO ANDERSEN, BRANCA VINHO is a special selection of Plinia Phitrantha, which produces sweet delicious fruits.
The tree is very ornamental and the foliage is being larger than the common Sabara (Plinia jaboticaba), with a deep green coloration upon maturity, and deep wine red when still freshly emerging.
Phitrantha var. OTTO ANDERSEN, BRANCA VINHO can fruit in 4-5 years, as opposed to 6-8 years for regular jaboticaba. Similar growth habit and care as the regular jaboticaba.
It appreciates acid pH, and some shade while it's young (30-50% shade is good when the tree is still less than 4-5ft, especially if you live where it gets over 100F, and there is risk of drought). They can survive down to approximately 27-25F if exposure is brief.
The tree will fruit for many months out of the year, sometimes bearing 3-4 crops or more in one year. Not many growers have fruited this variety yet in the USA, so it is very rare.
