Surinam Cherry Tree 'Chamba' Variety - Red Fruit, High Sweetness
Surinam cherry, scientifically known as Eugenia uniflora, is a small, round, and red to dark purple fruit native to tropical regions of South America. It is also known by various other names, including Brazilian cherry, Cayenne cherry, and pitanga. 'Chamba' is a remarkably productive red variety of Surinam Cherry. The taste and flavor can be quite rare and distinct, and it can vary slightly depending on the ripeness of the fruit. A unique quality of surinam cherry is the resinous flavor that is reminiscent of a freshly sliced bell pepper. This is balanced with the bursting sweetness and juiciness of the cherry. The variety 'Chamba' lacks some of the resinous flavor found in wilder seedling varieties. This resinous flavor can turn some away, so many will enjoy the Chamba variety since it is lower in this resin flavor and higher in sugar. **You are purchasing a surinam cherry seedling equal or larger in size to the one pictured.
