Jaboticaba sp. "Dwarf from Hawaii", also known as Frankie's Dwarf, is an extremely rare and very compact variety originating from Hawaii. This unique form has gained popularity among collectors mainly due to its dwarf growth, frequent fruiting and excellent fruit taste. Even after many years, it remains surprisingly small, which makes it one of the most suitable jaboticabas for growing in a pot.
The fruits grow in dense clusters directly on the branches and are dark red in color. The flesh is sweet, juicy and very pleasant, with a light acidity and a subtle cherry flavor. Its taste resembles a combination of the popular Sabara and Red Hybrid. Thanks to its frequent fruiting, it is one of the varieties that can please with a harvest significantly more often than regular jaboticabas.
The plant grows slowly and very compactly, yet it looks dense and elegant. It thrives best in an acidic, well-drained substrate rich in organic matter. Its size makes it ideal for growing in a container, conservatory or as a collector's item for smaller spaces.
Our plant comes from seed directly from Hawaii and was planted in 2023. This is an extremely rare variety that appears very rarely on the market and is an interesting addition to any collection of tropical fruit plants.
