In my yard I have planted a jaboticaba, which grows grape liek fruit on its trunk and limbs. Give that spelling a try. The jaboticaba is "the" fruit tree of Brazil. It grows well in partial shade or full sun but it must be planted in a well drained area and watered daily until it is established.

I realized my mistake, I was having trouble reading the handwriting on the tag. The plant is called "Jambolan" with no "a" at the end. It's also known as Java plum and a bunch of other colloquial names around the world. Very interesting plant!

I'll look up the jaboticaba too, Dino, thank you for the info.

Java plum is nice. If you can get the large-fruited one, so much the better. Called giant duhat in the phillipines. It freezes about the same as guava and can get rather large.The flavor is pleasant. Paul.

I only have tried the small-fruited one(about 1.5" large) and it´s rather very acidic and sour. Just hate it, in here grows as a wild tree.

They had a sample of the fruit at the plant event. It wasn't bad, it tasted sort of like a concord grape. But the more reading I do on it, it sounds like a messy tree that will start coming up all over the place from dropped fruit. For that reason I'll probably keep it in a pot or maybe give it away.
