Description
Growing in Arizona: The grumichama is a small, compact tree that can be grown as a standard or shaped as a hedge. The plants have beautiful, glossy dark green leaves and rough corky textured bark. Fruit are deep purple to black when ripe and they have a flavor very similar to that of jaboticaba. They are most often eaten fresh and used in jelly. Very popular in Brazil and South America. Can be used to make a nice edible hedge. Needs shade when hot. Good for container growing.
