Introducing the Araza plant, a hidden gem from the heart of the Amazon in Brazil. Known scientifically as Eugenia stipitata, this plant is a member of the Myrtaceae family. The Araza plant is a compact tree, typically reaching an average height and width of 6’ x 5’. It’s a hardy plant that can withstand temperatures down to 30°F.
The Araza plant is a rare find, even in its native Amazonian Brazil. Its small, multi-stemmed structure produces an abundance of round fruits that resemble tennis balls. These fruits hang from the tree’s weeping branches, creating a unique and attractive display.
Despite their sour taste, Araza fruits are incredibly versatile. Their pleasant flavor, appealing texture, vibrant color, and aromatic scent make them a popular choice for creating tropical drinks and cocktails. They’re also used to make refreshing popsicles and flavorful ice cream.
One of the most appealing aspects of the Araza plant is its adaptability. The bushy trees can be pruned to maintain a height of six feet or less, making them suitable for smaller spaces. Alternatively, they can be trained as a standard tree with a single trunk for a more traditional look. Plus, you won’t have to wait long to enjoy the fruits of your labor – these trees start bearing fruit in just 2-3 years.
So why not add a touch of the tropics to your garden with the Araza plant? It’s more than just a plant; it’s an experience.
