I am a tropical fruit tree producing sundrop fruits.

Native to the Amazon rainforest (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru).

Irrigate weekly; prefer moist, well-drained soil.

Requires full sun to partial shade.

Thrives in 22–30°C; sensitive to frost.

Plant in sandy-loam soil; spacing 4–5 meters apart.

Apply compost and balanced NPK every 2–3 months.

Botanical name: Eugenia victoriana; Family: Myrtaceae.

Fruits are safe; seeds edible but usually discarded.

Moderate; leafy canopy reduces dust.

Fruits rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber; eaten fresh, juiced, or made into jams.

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

Can live 15–20 years; starts fruiting in 3–4 years; peak yield from year 8 onward.
