Grown and shipped by our trusted partner seller, Keyfarm Wayanad, this premium live plant is carefully selected for its high quality and robust growth habit. It is ready to establish and thrive in your landscape.
The Rainforest Plum (Eugenia candolleana) is an exquisite evergreen tree native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil, celebrated for its glossy foliage and deep purple-black edible fruits. This rare botanical gem produces delicate white blossoms that contrast beautifully against its smooth, peeling bark, making it a highly desirable specimen for collectors and home gardeners alike.
An exceptional member of the Myrtaceae family, the Rainforest Plum produces sweet, juicy fruits with a flavor profile reminiscent of sweet plums and jaboticabas. Perfect for both container growing and garden landscaping, this live sapling is resilient and adaptable.
This species thrives in full sun to partial shade. For optimal fruit production and lush canopy growth, place it in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Maintain consistently moist but well-draining soil. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the roots do not sit in waterlogged soil to prevent root rot.
The fruit of Eugenia candolleana is completely non-toxic and delicious for humans. While the plant itself is generally considered non-toxic to pets, it is always best to prevent curious domestic animals from chewing on the foliage to avoid mild digestive upset.
