Amazing Jabuticaba: Bountiful Jabuticaba, Sep 2008

If I could name A fruit for you It would be jabuticaba Blue, black and small On the outside And soft and sweet within My favourite memory Was under that tree That's been there since I was three Now I would like to Sing for you My jabuticaba song Isn't she lovely Like purple rain Walking on sunshine with you (over the rainbow) Quiet nights, quiet stars It's summertime Quiet nights, quiet stars and you If I could name A tree for you It would be Jabuticaba Under the shade Of the cool green leaves It all comes back to me So when that taste Reminds you You know just where To find me And now I would like to sing for you My jabuticaba song Jabuticaba tree Jabuticaba song - by Bebel Gilberto, Carlinhos Brown

Bountiful Jabuticaba, Sep 2008

Two weeks after the berries started they are already big and turning colour. In a couple more weeks we will be having a great harvest.

Here are a couple pics of the Jabuticaba Tree in the front yard.

As you can see the tree is loaded with berries.

But look at the big tree in the back yard.

There will be lots of berries for everybody, birds, Me, Judy and the dogs.

Here are the easy ones for the dogs, right down at ground level.

Just look at the big clusters.

They are fighting for space.

I have never seen such a great collection of berries.

Even the back of the tree has lots of berries. These are at ground level.

So in a couple weeks we will have a big feast and make lots of Geleia Jabuticaba!! Mmmmmmmmmmm
