Compact, elegant, and dripping with tropical flavor—the Grumichama Tree (Eugenia brasiliensis) in a 25-gallon pot is a premium, fruit-bearing ornamental perfectly suited for South Florida landscapes. This Brazilian native charms with its glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant spring blooms, and cherry-like fruit that ripens into deep, dark purple jewels bursting with juicy sweetness.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. More sun promotes stronger flowering and fruiting, though dappled afternoon shade is welcome in hotter inland zones.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially in South Florida’s dry season. Regular watering and mulching help support healthy roots and fruit set.

• Soil: Grows best in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Enrich sandy soils with compost or peat moss for ideal structure and nutrition.

• Fertilizer: Feed 2–3 times a year with a balanced, slow-release fruit tree fertilizer, supplemented with micronutrients like iron and magnesium for lush foliage.

• Growth Habit: Dense and upright with symmetrical form. In a 25-gallon pot, this tree is typically 5–6 feet tall, ideal for medium-sized edible landscapes or as a focal container specimen.

• Temperature: Excellent for USDA Zones 10–11. Well adapted to South Florida’s subtropical climate, and tolerant of brief cold snaps once established.

• Maintenance: Low. Prune gently after fruiting to maintain shape and encourage airflow. Naturally pest-resistant and ideal for organic growing.

Fruit Notes: Bears glossy black-purple fruit with juicy, cherry-like flavor and thin, edible skin. Fruit ripens quickly—harvest frequently during late spring and early summer for best flavor.
