Honey Drop Jaboticaba (Pingo – De – Mel) Exotic

?? Honey Drop Jaboticaba (Plinia sp. ‘Pingo de Mel’) is an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after Brazilian fruit tree known for producing incredibly sweet, honey-flavored fruits directly on its trunk and branches. The Portuguese name “Pingo de Mel” translates to “Drop of Honey,” perfectly describing the fruit’s rich sweetness and outstanding flavor.

This slow-growing evergreen tree develops glossy dark green foliage and a compact, attractive canopy, making it ideal for home gardens, patios, and collectors of rare tropical fruits. Like other Jaboticabas, the tree produces clusters of delicate white flowers followed by smooth, round fruits that emerge directly from the bark—a remarkable botanical feature known as cauliflory.

The fruits have a thin skin and juicy, translucent pulp with a rich, sweet taste and very low acidity, making them perfect for fresh eating. They can also be used to prepare juices, jams, jellies, desserts, and refreshing beverages.
