Grumichama Fruit Live Plants (Eugenia brasiliensis)

Grumichama Fruit, scientifically referred to as Eugenia Brasiliensi, is an ornate tropical tree that is both compact in size and highly decorative. This medium-sized tree is native to southern Brazil and bears small, purple to black fruits characterized by a sweet flavor reminiscent of cherries or plums. Its modest stature makes it an ideal choice for urban landscaping, and the Grumichama cherry can be successfully cultivated in other tropical and subtropical regions, such as Florida and Hawaii. It is primarily grown as an ornamental fruit tree in backyard settings.

The Grumichama fruits are petite and feature a dark red, thick skin. The juicy inner pulp is whitish and possesses a slightly tart flavor, akin to cherries. The inner flesh of the fruit, which appears white-yellowish, is commonly enjoyed fresh but can also be utilized in the preparation of jams, jellies, and pies.

Known by its common names, Brazil Cherry and Spanish Cherry, the botanical name for this fruit remains Eugenia Brasiliensi. Typically, Grumichama trees begin to bloom and bear fruit within 4 to 5 years of growth, and they demand a moderate level of maintenance to thrive and produce their attractive and delectable fruits.
