Jaboticaba Red Lantern Fruit Plant

The jaboticaba red lantern (Plinia phitrantha ‘Red Lantern’) is an exotic fruit tree prized for its super-sweet, scarlet-colored berries that grow directly on its trunk and branches. This unique fruit is native to Brazil and is a cultivar of the jaboticaba family

• Appearance: The fruits are larger than most other jaboticaba varieties and grow hanging on the stems, rather than being tightly clustered against the trunk. Their bright red color resembles Chinese lanterns, giving the plant its name.
• Flavor: The berries have a juicy, sweet, grape-like flavor that is excellent for fresh eating.
• Bearing time: The ‘Red Lantern’ is known for being an early-bearing variety, often fruiting multiple times a year once established. Plants grown from seed can begin to fruit in as little as 4–5 years

Fruits of Jaboticaba Red Lantern variety are larger than others and fruits are produced hanging on the stem instead of being clenched to the tree.
