Rare Tree Turns Heads, People Stunned When They Realize What Grows On Its Trunk

On social media platforms, captivating images of a remarkable South American tree have been making waves. While such exotic marvels may not grace our local landscapes, the familiar sight of an apple tree in our backyard remains a cherished delight.

However, in South America, nature offers the extraordinary jabuticaba tree, bearing fruits akin to Brazilian grapes directly on its trunk. These purplish gems provide versatility, suitable for raw consumption or for crafting jellies, jams, juices, and even wine.

Belonging to the Myrtaceae family, these unique trees thrive in the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, Goiás, and São Paulo, with related species found in Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Peru.

The name “jabuticaba” derives from the Tupi words jaboti/jabuti (meaning tortoise) and caba (meaning place), signifying “the place where tortoises are found.” The fruit’s distinctive white pulp has led to interpretations likening it to “turtle fat.”

The appearance of these trees has captivated many, as their fruit grows not on branches but all along the trunk. In some instances shared on social media, the profusion of fruit renders the tree barely discernible.
