Yeah, they produce wave after wave of fruit, with a short break in between, and some being much heavier than others. Sometimes the fruit is so dense on the trunk and branches…
Thanks a lot for the visit, my friend, and I'm glad that you appreciate them. They're flowers of jabuticaba, or Brazilian grapetree. Soon the branches and trunk will be covered…
Their building has a lovely front garden, so plants and a grassy area are directly below them. I can see why it wouldn't be good to get people wet on the sidewalk below…
