Grumichama Fruit Live Plants (Eugenia brasiliensis)

It is a medium-sized tree that is native to southern Brazil and produces small, purple to black fruits with a sweet, cherry or plum-like flavour. Its diminutive stature makes it ideal for use in urban landscaping. Other tropical and subtropical areas, such as Florida and Hawaii, can support the cultivation of the Grumichama cherry. developed primarily as a fruit tree in the backyard.

Small, with a thick skin and a dark red colour, the fruits. Juicy, white, slightly sour, and tasting like a cherry, the internal pulp is what makes the fruit. The fruit’s inner flesh has a white-yellow hue and is primarily consumed fresh, however jams, jellies, and pies can also be made with it.
