Yellow Jaboticaba (Myrciaria glazioviana cabeluda)
Myrciaria glazioviana cabeluda is a rare tropical fruit tree native to Brazil.
The Yellow Jaboticaba fruit boasts a flavor reminiscent of perfectly-ripened apricots. Related to the Blue Grape and Jabuticaba, the Yellow Jabuticaba stands out from the crowd.

You can find them under several names including Cabelluda and cabeludinha as well, and when you find them, consider yourself lucky!
A perfect healthy treat for any garden, whether rocking its potential 20 ft. canopy or a tiny pot pruned for an urban space, these easy-maintenance tropical trees are worth obsessing over.
