Surinam Cherry - Eugenia uniflora
|
Also called pitanga. An evergreen shrub 10' in height. In spring and again in fall the Surinam cherry bears small, round fruits with eight prominent ribs. These are usually red, but are best enjoyed fresh almost black. Calling the fruit amazing does the fruit justice. They are spicy, juicy and aromatic. Use them for making an excellent jelly also. Grows in zones 9 and 10. Withstands temperatures in the low 20's. Self fruitful. An easy care greenhouse plant and because it's tropical it stays evergreen year round. These are seed grown.
