Eugenia uniflora
The Black Brazilian Cherry is a highly ornamental and productive evergreen fruit tree perfect for tropical and subtropical gardens. It produces deep purple–black fruit with a rich, sweet flavour that’s far superior to the standard red type.
This compact tree is fast-growing, easy to maintain, and an excellent choice for home growers wanting a reliable, low-maintenance fruiting plant. The fruit can be eaten fresh or used in jams, desserts, cordials, and dehydrated snacks.
The tree also makes a great feature plant, with glossy foliage, attractive ribbed fruit, and the ability to be shaped as a hedge or small standalone specimen.
