This jaboticaba was my first fruit plant I bought, which started my obsession. A little over 4 years later it's finally about to give me my first taste. An Unnamed variety I bought from Logees, a cutting that was about 6 inches tall when I got it. Unimpressive after all the posts I've read, but it has a special place in my collection. ;D Seeing it fruit feels great.

Only 4 years? :)

Yeah, trunk is still pretty skinny, I was a little surprised. I hadn't even noticed it flowered. I heard grafted didn't take as long. It's potted and not very tall. Oddly no fruit on the trunk like I would have expected, just a half dozen on super skinny branches.

Remember that the base trunk (where you grafted the cutting) is still young and not in fruiting age.
As a side note, not all the jabos set fruits in the lower trunk. Some vars set fruits only in the branches. ;)

Congratulations! It's very exciting to see progress, no matter how long it takes to get there! All the more so when it is a special plant that started your collection. :) I still have a fondness for Bearss lemon trees, because the first plant I ever bought and fruited when I moved to SFL was one I bought at a local farm. The joy of having these plants finally fruit makes a lot of the time and money you put in to get there worth it...
