South Florida Backyard Nectar

Jaboticaba

Grimal

History

Named after the late fruit collector Adolph Grimal, who collected the variety in South America and brought it to Florida.

Taste profile

Similar to Sabara but with slightly larger, darker fruit, and a flavor some tasters compare to Concord grape - a bit more complex than Sabara's straightforward sweetness.

Growing habits

A more upright growth habit than Sabara, considered by some growers to be a more attractive landscape tree.
