Description
Grumixama Amarela — the yellow-fruited grumixama
Grumixama is one of Brazil’s classic Atlantic Forest fruits, valued both as an ornamental tree and for its edible berries. This collector lot is the striking yellow / golden-fruited form.
Specialist Brazilian horticultural references describe the yellow form as very similar to the traditional dark grumixama, with an often slightly smaller tree and equally tasty fruit. A Brazilian university botanical garden describes Eugenia brasiliensis fruits as averaging around 2.5 cm, with thick, pale, sweet pulp and color forms including yellow, black and red.
Taxonomic note
The historical name Eugenia brasiliensis var. leucocarpa is still useful in horticulture for the yellow form, but Plants of the World Online currently treats it as a synonym of Eugenia brasiliensis, not as a separately accepted variety. We therefore use “Grumixama Amarela” as the practical collector name.
- Accepted species: Eugenia brasiliensis Lam.
- Form: yellow / golden-fruited Grumixama
- Native range of species: eastern and southern Brazil
- Fruit quality: highly regarded; yellow form described as equally tasty as dark grumixama
