About this Flowering Jaboticaba Bonsai, 26 Years Old (Plinia cauliflora)
Eugenia cauliflora, 26 years old, 17 by 16 by 22 inches tall. The jaboticaba comes from southern Brazil, belongs to the myrtle family and counts the guava among its relatives; the name is said aloud in five syllables, exactly as it is spelled. Its species epithet, cauliflora, records the habit that sets the tree apart, since flowers and then fruit are produced directly on the trunk and the mature branches rather than at the shoot tips. In flower the trunk is sheathed in massed white blossom, each bloom small and gathered into tight bunches. Grown indoors.
Jaboticaba bonsai care
This is a living Jaboticaba (Plinia cauliflora). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

- Bright light to full sun; bright indirect light indoors near a sunny window
- Water
- Wet-leaning — keep the rootball evenly moist, never bone-dry; loves humidity, but must drain (overwatering rots roots)
