Myrciaria sp. 'Maruim' Fruit Plant

Myrciaria sp. 'Maruim' is a unique and compact fruit-bearing species from the Jaboticaba family (Myrtaceae), originating in Brazil. This rare dwarf variety is highly valued by exotic fruit enthusiasts for its attractive growth habit and delicious fruit.

The plant produces beautiful bright red fruits that are juicy, sweet, and richly aromatic. Their flavor is often compared to Jaboticaba, with a pleasant tangy note that adds extra depth to the taste. The fruits can be enjoyed fresh or used in a variety of preparations such as juices, jams, desserts, and ice creams.

As the plant grows, it develops the classic Myrciaria appearance, with tender new leaves that gracefully hang downward. For best growth, young plants benefit from a partially shaded location during their first year. Consistent moisture is appreciated, but excess water and waterlogged conditions should be avoided to maintain healthy roots.
