Murtinha Cherry Live Plant (Myrcia sp. "Cambuí Preto")

"Cambuí Preto" refers to the black fruited variety of the Cambuí, a tree species from the Myrtaceae family. This dwarf Myrcia species is a true botanical treasure from the rugged highlands of Chapada Diamantina, Brazil. Extremely ornamental, it features super pubescent, tiny leaves that give it a striking look — a real conversation piece in any collection.

Despite its compact size, the fruits are larger than the leaves and are super sweet and tasty, with virtually no astringency. Any slight tang is barely noticeable compared to how flavorful and enjoyable the fruit is.
