Jaboticaba Mucuri (Plinia Sp.Peluda Do Mucuri) Fruit Plant

Jaboticaba Mucuri /Plinia Sp.Peluda do Mucuri /Blue Velvet Jaboticaba is native to the forest located at the headwaters of the Mucuri River in Minas Gerais, Brail. Peluda do Mucuri is significantly distinct from other jaboticabas and will likely be described as its own species by botanists in the future. The plant's small fuzzy fruit indicates that it is perhaps closest related to Plinia sp. Malacacheta Jaboticaba and Plinia sp. Sapuca Jaboticaba.

The fruits have a dark purple color when they reach full ripeness, velvety texture on the skin, and sweet tasty fruits.
