Eugenia longipedunculata

Native to Brazil's Atlantic Forest, particularly between São Paulo and Santa Catarina, Eugenia longipedunculata, or Grumixama-Mirim, is a compact tree or shrub reaching 2–4 meters tall. With dense, dark-green foliage and reddish-brown young shoots, it offers a stunning ornamental appeal. From August to November, it produces abundant white flowers, followed by small, rounded fruits with thin skin that ripen from red to nearly black. The sweet, juicy pulp is irresistible to birds and perfect for fresh consumption. Thriving in tropical and subtropical climates, it grows well in well-drained soils and can be cultivated in containers or as bonsai, making it a versatile and delightful addition to any collection!
