Bonsai in Brevard – September 2025

Sept 20th – Jaboticaba

This month’s club meeting will feature TJ Snyman who will perform a demonstration of a large Jaboticaba. A drawing for the tree will be held after the demo.

The Jaboticaba tree (Plinia cauliflora) is native to eastern and southeastern Brazil, with its range extending into Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. It’s especially associated with the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Goiás, and São Paulo in Brazil. This tropical species thrives in warm, humid climates and is celebrated for its unique cauliflorous fruiting—where the grape-like fruits grow directly on the trunk. It features fine foliage, creamy flowers, and thrives in warm, humid conditions—ideal for informal upright styles.

Note: This month, we will meet at the Melbourne Public Library, 540 E. Fee Blvd (at 1pm.)
