These are tropical ‘cherries’ from a Grumichama tree. These came from a small tree stuck in a 50cm pot for the last few years. They’re delicious - sweeter than a strawberry guava and without the slight grittiness that some people get from guavas and feijoas. Grumichama comes from southern Brazil which has lots of Gondwanan cousins to Australian species in the Myrtaceae. Grumichama is essentially a Brazilian Lilly Pilly. This specimen survived -2 c in the Burnley Nursery two winters ago so I’m calling as do-able for most of Melbourne. My specimens came from @daleysfruit as tube stock #grumichama #eugeniabrasiliensis #myrtaceae #plantsofbrazil #newfavouritefruit #plantit #trysomethingnew #urbanorchards
