Sorry, couldn't rotate the picture.
I am fairly sure this bush we have in finland is not related to your "jabuticaba" but the berries grow in same way, like directly off the trunk of the branches.
This is called "Tyrni" and the berries are really really sour, almost to the point of being inedible. However they are so full of vitamins and antioxidants that if one eats spoonful of them every morning through the whole winter one never catches cold. Very useful.
