Myrciaria cuspidata is a small tree or shrub native to a broad area of South America, including Paraguay, Bolivia, and southern, central, eastern, and northeastern Brazil. It typically grows between 3 to 6 meters in height and branches low along the trunk, giving it a dense, bushy growth habit. This compact form makes it ideal for both ornamental use and fruit production in home gardens.
The species thrives in sunny locations and can tolerate occasional heavy watering, making it adaptable to various tropical and subtropical growing conditions. This particular variety is considered the rarest form of Myrciaria cuspidata, producing black fruits when fully ripe. The fruits are small—around 10 mm in diameter—but are borne in abundance and enjoyed fresh for their pleasant flavor and visual appeal.
Seeds are from a cultivated tree and are shipped in packs of one, in humid vermiculite.
