Product Details
Grumichama (Eugenia brasiliensis), also known as the Brazilian cherry, is a tropical fruit tree native to southern Brazil. It's prized for its ornamental appeal and delicious, cherry-like fruits. 


🍒 Fruit Description


Appearance: The fruits are small (2 cm in diameter), round, and borne on long stems. They mature from green to red, and finally to deep purple-black when ripe.  


Flesh: Inside, the flesh is juicy and sweet, often described as a blend between cherry and grape. The skin is thin and firm, exuding dark-red juice when pressed.  


Varieties: While the black-skinned variety is most common, there are also yellow available with the yellow variety being slightly sweeter and less acidic.  



🌳 Tree Characteristics


Size: Grumichama trees are evergreen and can reach heights of 2-4m in Perth, when mature. They have a dense canopy with glossy, dark green leaves.  


Flowers: The tree produces abundant white flowers with numerous stamens, which are not only attractive but also fragrant.  


Growth Habit: The tree has a slender, erect form with a short trunk and can be pruned to maintain a smaller size, making it suitable for urban gardens.  



🌱 Growing Conditions


Climate: Grumichama thrives in subtropical to tropical climates. It prefers warm, humid conditions and can tolerate light frosts once established.  


Soil: The tree grows best in well-drained, slightly acidic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5.  


Propagation: It can be propagated from seeds, cuttings, or grafting. Seed-grown trees may take 4–5 years to bear fruit, while grafted plants can fruit sooner.  



🍽️ Culinary Uses


Fresh Consumption: The fruits are delicious when eaten fresh, offering a sweet and slightly tart flavour. 


Preserves: They are excellent for making jams, jellies, and pies due to their rich flavor and high pectin content.  


Beverages: Grumichama juice is refreshing and can be used in smoothies or fermented into wines. 



🌿 Health Benefits


Nutritional Content: Grumichama is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, contributing to immune support and digestive health.  


Traditional Uses: In Brazilian folk medicine, the fruit has been used for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
