Important growing tips: https://www.pepesplants.com/macadamia-trees.html
Macadamia spp.
Proteaceae
IMPORTANT READ THIS: These young trees must be kept from frost and cold temperatures. Mature trees will survive temperatures as low as 30 degrees F. Colder temperatures will severely defoliate and kill the tree, unless protected by blankets. Grow the tree in a pot in cold climates and bring indoors. Keep near bright light or in a greenhouse during cold weather.
Origin: Macadamia integrifolia is native to southeastern Queensland where it grows in the rain forests and close to streams. M. tetraphylla is native to southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, also growing in rain forests, in moist places and along stream banks. There are types that appear to be natural hybrids. The macadamia was introduced into Hawaii about 1881 where it was used as an ornamental and for reforestation. The Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station named and introduced several promising selections in 1948, which led to the modern macadamia industry in Hawaii. In California two seedling macadamias were planted in the early 1880's and are still standing on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. The importation of improved and named varieties into California from Hawaii began about 1950. Macadamias are also commercially important in Australia, South Africa and Central America.

These flowers are followed by round, red or dark purple fruits that are about 2-3 centimeters in diameter. The fruit is edible and has a sweet, juicy flavor, similar to that of a cherry.

Plinia cauliflora is a small bushy tree, native to Brazil. It’s known for its red, white-pulped fruits which grow directly on the trunk.
Jaboticaba trees typically reach a height of 10 - 15 feet in cultivation. They are profusely branched, beginning close to the ground and slanting upward and outward so that the dense rounded crown may attain an ultimate spread as wide as it is tall.
Jaboticaba trees will take full sun or some shade and are small enough to fit into many parts of the garden landscape. They are fairly wind tolerant but do not like salty sea air.
Jaboticabas grow and fruit best in rich, deep, acidic soil. Although not well adapted to alkaline soils, they may be grown successfully in containers. Mulching with pine bark and applying necessary nutrient sprays containing iron can clear up chlorotic leaves.
Jaboticabas can tolerate a few degrees of frost but do best under frost-free conditions. Red jaboticaba needs regular watering! Do not let them dry out and supplement twice a year with Sulphur to maintain low pH around 5.5
The fruit is grape-like in appearance, texture and taste. Blooms can be expected several times a year during warm months. Fresh fruit is delicious eaten out-of-hand and can be made into jellies, jams and wines. The skin is high in tannin.
