Now it is August 12. We were having breakfast at 8 a.m. on a sunny winter morning. I went into the kitchen and heard a noise.
It was a steady Hummmmmmmmmmm or maybe better put, it was a steady Buzzzzzzzzzz.
There were thousands of bees at work in the Jabuticaba trees. They must have a great Union because there were so many working so hard so early in the morning. So-So bees?
Now look what we discovered! The Jabuticaba trees have three stages of fruit.
One - Black berries ready to eat (even the dogs jump up and pick the berries).
Two - Green berries, another new crop already.
Three - thousands more blossoms and the bees hard at work doing their job.
What an amazing sight!!!!

Maybe we should try to make jam this time!
The Jabuticaba trees produce berries at least twice a year and if you water the trees they get loaded with many thousands of berries.
They are truly amazing trees!
