Unlike many fruit trees, Jaboticaba produces its distinctive fruit directly on the trunk and mature branches. This unusual growth pattern makes it a conversation piece in a tropical garden or a collection of uncommon fruit trees.

Fruiting time varies with plant maturity, variety, propagation method, climate, and care. A young plant may need considerable time and suitable growing conditions before producing fruit.
