Amazon Tree Grape (Pourouma Cecropiifolia): A Rare Rainforest Treasure

A Unique Tropical Delight from the Amazon

The Amazon Tree Grape, also known as Uvilla, is a fascinating fruit tree native to the lush rainforests of Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru. Scientifically classified as Pourouma cecropiifolia, this remarkable species belongs to the Moraceae family, which includes figs and mulberries. Unlike the typical grapevine, this fruit grows on a small to medium-sized tree with a low, dense canopy, offering both ornamental and culinary value.

🔹 Fruits: Purple, grape-like clusters with a rough outer skin and easily peeled white pulp.
🔹 Taste & Texture: Sweet and juicy, offering a refreshingly tropical flavor experience.
🔹 Bloom Time & Fruiting: Begins fruiting within 2-3 years; requires both male and female plants for successful pollination.
