I agree, they are amazing trees even if they never flower of fruit. Some weeks ago a collector who is an agronomist from Misiones (land of jaboticabas!) told me that the jaboticabas have a phenomenon called "cauliflorus", and it is assumed that the flower buds are in the trunk months or years before opening ... but I find it very incredible ... so what species is your jaboticaba? (coronata, sabará?) age? very niceQuote from: Coach62 on January 30, 2018, 01:30:09 PMI took a look at mine, it has similar bumps on the trunk and larger branches, it has yet to bloom also, but it doing very well. I think it's practically doubled in size over the last year or 9 months.Maybe they are future buds, once the tree is ready?? I guess we'll see. I do love my Jab, even if it never blooms, it's just such a gorgeous tree, it reminds me of a very large bonsai tree, if there could be such. Here is a pic of my Jab. In the back left is a poor little Satsuma orange tree (I know it's technically a tangerine). I had to cage it off as the deer kept eating every single flush of new growth it had, almost killed it. Sorry but I don't know what cultivar my Jaboticaba is. When I bought it, it was only labeled as a Jab. I'll have to wait until it fruits to tell I guess.

Any updates?
