Grape Tree?


 

I couldn't help but to add this tree to Strange Spots.  I suppose if you are from Brazil, it's not so strange, but it's quite foreign to me for fruit to grow on the trunk of a tree :).   This is the Jabuticaba ʒabutiˈkabɐ or ʒabutʃiˈkabɐ]) (Plinia cauliflora) is a unique tree native to the San Paulo and Minas Gerais states in southeastern Brazil.  It grows a purple to black colored fruit with white pulp.   They are eaten raw, in jellies and drinks including in water and wine.  They are often referred to as the  Brazilian Grape Tree.   Wonder how it tastes..
