Red Jaboticaba in Blue Ceramic
$5,000
Red Jaboticaba, also known as Red Hybrid Jaboticaba, is commonly associated with Plinia aureana and related hybrids. It is prized for fruiting sooner than many jaboticabas, often within 3-5 years, and for its reddish-maroon berries. The fruit has the character of a complex grape: mildly sweet, gently spicy, and layered with intriguing notes. White flowers appear from the bark and smell exquisite in springtime, or whenever the right conditions are met. A beautiful piece for collectors who want to add a conversation starter in their lanai, on the balcony, at the entrance of an estate, or amongst other living art pieces.

Reservation terms
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve the Red Jaboticaba specimen after inquiry approval. The deposit secures the specimen and removes it from public availability. The remaining balance is due upon delivery or pickup. Delivery availability, mileage, and final delivery fee, if applicable, are confirmed before a private deposit link is issued. Submitting an inquiry does not reserve the specimen. Purchase includes a complimentary PDF Jaboticaba care guide and educational care instruction upon delivery or pickup.
All sales are final. No returns or refunds are offered after pickup or delivery, including if the tree declines or dies after transfer. Buyers receive rapid customer support directly from Troy, but ongoing care, placement, watering, weather exposure, and growing conditions remain the buyer's responsibility.
