Eugenia involucrata, also known as the Cherry of the Rio Grande, is a shrub native to Brazil that produces small, dark red to purple fruits with a sweet cherry-like flavor. It is relatively easy to grow and requires minimal maintenance. Proper nourishment and adequate water supply are important for optimal fruit size and quality. The plant blooms from March to May and the fruits ripen about 3 weeks after flowering. The fruit can be used for various purposes such as making jelly, jam, or juice. Propagation is typically done through seeds, but it can also be reproduced through grafting or cuttings.
