The jabuticabeira (Plinia sp.) Belongs to the Myrtaceae family and is native to Central / South / Southeast Brazil. The aim of this study was to determining the establishment and growth of grafts of jaboticaba trees 'Sabará' (P. jaboticaba (Vell)) and 'Açu' (P.cauliflora ) submitted to the cleft grafting and whip grafting methods. Were evaluated the initial establishment to 50 days after grafting, the final one at 262 days after grafting, the diameter and lengt of the stem and leaf number appeared to 78, 107 136, 167, 199, 228 e 262 days after grafting. The variety 'Sabará' showed higher initial establishment when subjected to the whip grafting method. The jabuticaba 'Açu' was greater on the final establishment. Cultivar 'Açu' showed larger diameter, longer length of stem and more leaves.
