Surinam Cherry Cherries Variety Fruit (Air Layering/Grafted) Plant

Product Features and Variety

The Surinam Cherry (Eugenia uniflora), also known as Pitanga or Brazilian Cherry, is a resilient evergreen shrub or small tree native to South America. Prized for its ornamental appeal and edible fruit, this plant is well-suited for cultivation in tropical and subtropical climates across India.

• Propagation Method: This plant is propagated through Air Layering or Grafting, which encourages earlier and more reliable fruiting compared to seed-grown plants.
• Appearance: Features slender, spreading branches with glossy, aromatic leaves that emerge bright red and mature to a deep green.
• Size: This offering is a 1-2 feet plant size, suitable for both garden planting and large container growing.

The Fruit: Surinam Cherries

The fruit of the Surinam Cherry is distinctive in appearance and rich in essential nutrients:

• Description: Small, round, and deeply ribbed fruit, typically displaying 7 to 8 vertical ridges.
• Color and Ripeness: The fruit is green when young, transitioning to orange and then to bright red or deep purple-black when fully ripe. It should be harvested when dark in color and soft to the touch for the sweetest flavor.
• Flavor and Use: The juicy flesh has a sweet-tart taste with a characteristic resinous note. It is excellent for fresh consumption, as well as for making jams, jellies, and desserts.
• Nutritional Value: The fruit is a good source of Vitamin C and various antioxidants, which contribute to a healthy immune system and skin.

Essential Care Guide

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Requires full sun to partial shade, performing best with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit production.
• Climate: Thrives in tropical and subtropical regions, adapting well to most Indian climates.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. The plant is highly adaptable to various soil types, including sandy loam.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. While it is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering promotes larger and sweeter fruit.
