Araza Fruit Tree 7G

Araza Fruit Tree in 7-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

Tropical, tangy, and totally unique—the Araza Fruit Tree (Eugenia stipitata) in a 7-gallon pot is a flavorful addition to any South Florida edible landscape. Native to the Amazon rainforest, this rare fruit tree produces soft, yellow fruits with a bold, citrusy punch—perfect for juices, jams, or adventurous fresh eating.

Compact and lush, the Araza thrives in South Florida’s heat and humidity, and this 7-gallon size gives you a healthy head start toward a fruitful harvest in just a couple seasons.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Grows best in full sun to partial shade. Morning sun with light afternoon protection works well for younger plants. Too much shade can reduce flowering and fruit production.

• Watering: Prefers consistent moisture and does not like to dry out. Water regularly—especially during dry spells—and mulch well to retain soil humidity.

• Soil: Thrives in rich, well-draining, organic soil with slightly acidic pH. Amend sandy soils with compost or peat to increase water retention and fertility.

• Fertilizer: Feed every 6–8 weeks in the growing season with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer plus micronutrients to support flower and fruit development.

• Growth Habit: Dense and bushy with broad, dark green leaves and a naturally compact form. In a 7-gallon pot, your Araza tree will be 3–5 feet tall, with quick growth in warm conditions.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 10–11. A perfect match for South Florida’s tropical climate. Protect from cold snaps below 40°F.

• Maintenance: Low. Prune lightly to shape and increase airflow. Fruit may fall when ripe, so harvesting frequently during season is recommended.

Fruit Notes: Produces round, yellow-orange fruit with juicy pulp and a complex tart flavor—like a blend of passionfruit and lemon. Used in juices, smoothies, cocktails, and preserves.
