The Brazilian grape tree grows fruit on its trunk
In 1904, the tree was introduced to California, but it didn’t survive. A smaller variety grows in southern Florida, but it remains a tree that only does well in tropical climates.
Other varieties grow in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay. A member of the Myrtaceae (myrtle) tree family, the Brazilian grape tree is related to the eucalyptus tree, allspice, and guavas. They are indeed unique and are grown as miniature trees by people who enjoy bonsai, particularly in Taiwan and parts of the Caribbean.
