Rainforest Plum: A Rare and Exotic Addition to Your Garden

Discover the beauty and benefits of this unique tropical fruit plant

Rainforest Plum (Eugenia candolleana), known locally as Cambui Roxo or Murtinha, is a remarkable exotic fruit tree native to the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil. Its striking purple-black fruit and bright green foliage make it a standout feature for any fruit plant garden or exotic garden. Rarely found in the wild, this tropical plant has gained popularity for both its ornamental appeal and its delightful fruit.

A Flavorful and Nutritious Fruit
The Rainforest Plum produces small, purple-black fruits with a thin skin and a firm, juicy pulp surrounding a single seed. The fruit is pleasantly sweet, often compared to the taste of jaboticaba. Packed with essential nutrients like Vitamin E, Lutein (great for eye health), Zinc, Calcium, and Magnesium, it’s not only delicious but also a powerhouse of health benefits. In Brazil’s folk medicine, the leaves are used for treating pain and fever, adding a medicinal charm to this exotic fruit.

Moderate Care for a Rewarding Harvest
This exotic fruit tree thrives in tropical climates and blooms multiple times throughout the year, rewarding patient gardeners with 4 to 6 fruiting cycles annually. While the Rainforest Plum requires moderate maintenance, its ability to bear fruit within 2 to 3 years makes it an exciting addition to any plant garden or fruit garden. Whether you're an experienced plant lover or someone new to tropical fruit trees, the Rainforest Plum will surely elevate your garden's beauty and appeal.
