Nature is full of surprises and amazing things. Just when you believe you are sure that there is no any chance that fruit can grow directly on the trunk of the tree someone will take a camera and bring you a proof of existence of such plant.

This tree is called Jabuticaba, also known as the Grape Tree. As you can see, it’s trunk is almost completely covered with tiny fruits. It can be found in South America.

Scientists believe that this way of placement of fruits directly on the trunk of the tree is most useful for tree itself because other animals can reach fruits easily and eventually spread it’s seeds far away from tree and that is what will gain the chance of survival of this plant.
