The blue Jaboticaba is a handsome and well-behaved tree, making it a stunning addition to any landscape. Its ornamental appeal includes bark decorated with a distinctive reticulated pattern that occasionally peels away in large patches, revealing a lighter underlayer.
Beyond its aesthetic value, the blue grape produces a delicious, grape-like fruit with a pleasantly sweet flavor. While some may find its taste slightly milder than that of the jaboticaba, it is still of high quality. With its many attractive qualities, the blue grape shows excellent potential as a dooryard tree for South Florida.
