I am a tropical fruit tree producing bright yellow, tangy fruits.

Native to the western Amazon (Peru, Brazil, Colombia).

Water 2–3 times per week; keep soil moist but well-drained.

Requires full sun to partial shade.

Thrives in 25–35°C; sensitive to frost.

Plant in sandy-loam soil; spacing 4–6 meters apart.

Apply compost and NPK 8:10:10 every 2–3 months.

Botanical name: Eugenia stipitata; Family: Myrtaceae.

Fruits are safe; seeds edible but rarely consumed.

Moderate; dense foliage reduces dust.

Fruits rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber; pulp used in juices, jams, and desserts.

Susceptible to fruit fly, anthracnose, and root rot; prune for airflow and monitor regularly.

Can live 20–30 years; starts fruiting in 3–4 years; peak yield from year 8 onward.
