Plinia phitrantha, called white jaboticaba, is a small tree from south-eastern Brazil that bears edible fruit with green skin. Grow it warm and humid with regular moisture, much like other jaboticabas.
Plinia phitrantha, commonly known as jaboticaba branca (white jaboticaba) or ibatinga (Tupi-Guarani for white fruit), is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais in south-eastern Brazil. The tree grows to between 2 and 7 metres (6.6 and 23 ft) tall, and produces edible fruit, between 10 and 25 mm (0.4 and 1 in) in diameter, which is green in colour due to a lack of anthocyanins in the skin.
