Surinam Cherry (Eugenia uniflora L.)

Surinam Cherry also known as Brazilian Cherry, Cayenne Cherry. The Surinam cherry is a bush or small tree to 25 ft in height. Plants can be trained as small bushes or hedge but can take on a more tree-like growth pattern. Flowering may occur several times a year, with a single moderate sized tree having thousands of flowers. Fruiting is generally profuse with hundreds or thousands of fruits per cycle and trees sometimes fruiting 2-3 times a year.

Surinam Cherry has small 1 inch around, shiny red to black fruit with prominent lobes. Flesh is juicy, with an acid to sweet flavor. Often dark red or black fruits produce higher quality flesh.

These are starter plants under 12 inches in height.
