An evergreen shrub or small tree native to Central and South America, which despite the name is well-suited to the warmer parts of the country. It is fairly cold-hardy and tolerates light frosts once established.
 

It is slow growing, eventually reaching 2-3 metres, but can be kept pruned as a smaller bushy tree or grown in a large pot.

Fruits ripen over winter and have a sweet, fragrant flavour. They can be eaten raw or cooked, and are also used to flavour drinks.

Plants are usually self-fertile and often fruit prolifically. Can fruit from 3-4 years old.

Please note this tree is banned in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland so we are unable to send plants to this region.
