🌱 Size & Container: Take Control of Your Tree's Growth 🌳

An interesting aspect of the Grimal Jaboticaba tree is its adaptable size. The size of the tree is directly connected to the size of its container, allowing you to control how big or small it grows!

  • Bonsai-Sized Wonders 🌱
    • Our bonsai-sized Jaboticaba trees stand at 12 inches from root to top and offer the perfect tabletop or indoor decor.
    • Ideal if you're looking for a manageable, space-saving exotic plant.
  • Bigger and Bolder in 7-Gallon Containers 🌳
    • These trees reach impressive heights of 5-6 feet! Believe it or not, they are the same age as their bonsai-sized counterparts.
    • Perfect for those who want to make a grand statement in their garden or wish to enjoy a more bountiful harvest.
  • You Decide! 🌱🔄🌳
    • Your choice of container size determines your tree's growth. To keep it small and manageable, you can continue to cultivate it in its current ceramic pot. To let your Grimal Jaboticaba flourish and reach new heights, consider transferring it to a larger container.

🌳 Our Recommendation: 🌳

  • Container Flexibility 🌱🌳
    • If you wish to keep the tree small, enjoy it as is in its ceramic pot. If you're looking to expand its growth, simply transfer it to a larger container for a more lush and robust tree.
