Dwarf Grumichuma

Dwarf Grumichama (Eugenia itaguahiensis) – Ready to fruit in not even 3-4 years!  Sooner in the tropics! Not the same as Grumichama, closely related.

This compact beauty is perfect for small gardens or pots, packing a tropical punch in a tiny package. The fruit is sweeter than regular Grumichama with a delightful spicy cinnamon aftertaste, making it a unique and tasty addition to your home garden.

Don’t let its size fool you—this dwarf variety produces plenty of vibrant, cherry-like fruit that can be enjoyed fresh, in jams, or as a dessert topping. The small size makes it ideal for urban gardens, balconies, or any space where a full-sized tree isn’t practical.

Features:

Ideal prune height: 1.5m – 2.5m

pH growing conditions: 5.5 – 6.5

Shade or full sun: Full sun to partial shade

Minimum pot size: 20L

Time to fruit: 2 years in the tropics, 2-4 years in Perth.

Interesting notes: Dwarf Grumichama’s sweet fruit with a cinnamon-like aftertaste is a rare treat. Its small size and fast fruiting make it a favourite for tropical fruit lovers in tight spaces.
