Can you keep the Jaboticaba tree in a pot or container?
The answer is YES.
This Jaboticaba is commonly called grape tree. Taste really sweet and juicy. Fruit grow on the trunk. Full sun.
For people who don't have big land and want to plant some fruit trees, Jaboticaba is one of the best to take care of it in a pot.
It's still the same way you care for trees on the ground.
3- 5 years later this Jaboticaba produces fruit.
After harvesting the fruit, the tree needs energy to grow, so
1. Prune the tree so sunlight is coming in the centre of the trunk. This means to stop fungus growing and also to keep trees short and manageable.
2. Give fertiliser and good water.
Reapet feeding tree with fruit tree fertiliser or organic palatise poultry manure every couple of months.

So, have a try to grow fruit tree in container and still able give you fruit.
Challenge yourself and have fun gardening.
