₹250.00

Eugenia candolleana, or rainforest plum, is a tree native from Atlantic rainforest of Brazil, known locally by the Portuguese names cambuí roxo or murtinha. It is quite rare in the wild, and has seen limited use in landscaping for its bright green foliage and purple-black fruits. Rain forest plum thrives best in full sunlight and requires good irrigation during the flowering and fruiting seasons. It can be propagated from seeds. The seeds, however, loose viability soon and therefore should be planted within 20 days of extraction. The tree is easy to grow and starts bearing fruits after two years. Color : Green and Yellow
