Grumichuma - Yellow

Yellow Grumichama (Eugenia brasiliensis) is an Amazon easy to grow fruit tree that offers a burst of flavour and charm to any garden. These are seed-grown, so while most will fruit yellow, some may turn out purple-black—often sweeter than the classic black type. The fruit is juicy, grape-like in texture, sweet with a slight zing, and ripens just six weeks after flowering. With two crops a year and striking white blooms, it’s both beautiful and productive. Loves extra water.
