Quick Summary of Sliva Ibirapuera (Ibirapuera Plum)
- 🌍 Origin: A rare and exotic novelty variety with a tropical flair.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Highly indeterminate, aggressive, and extremely vigorous! Growers describe the vine as a “monster” that will easily reach the roof of a greenhouse and continue growing along the ceiling if not topped. Requires strong support and pruning.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Elongated, bell-like plum shape with a very striking and unusual color pattern. Based on the shape, it looks like it would be a dry, hollow “stuffing” tomato (stuffer), but it surprises you by being completely filled and very juicy.
- 👅 Flavor: Wonderfully sweet and refreshing. The flavor profile is noticeably tropical, with growers frequently comparing it to the taste of fresh kiwi.
This variety came to me as a little seedling, which grew and turned into some kind of monster! 🧟♀️
Unlimited growth (highly indeterminate). It hit the ceiling of the greenhouse and just kept growing right across the roof.
Very productive, it attracts attention with its interesting coloring and fruit shape.
I liked the taste—sweet, it reminds me of kiwi 🥝.
The tomatoes are unexpectedly juicy, although based on the shape I was expecting something hollow (like a stuffing tomato).
