An exotic Amazonian rainforest fruit tree prized for its round, velvety bright yellow fruits that pack an intensely aromatic, citrus-like tangy pulp highly favored for making refreshing juices, nectars, and jams.

Grafted and container-grown plants adapt exceptionally well to home gardens or large patio pots, maintaining a naturally compact bushy habit and bearing fruit in just 1 to 2 years!

Description

Araza-Boi / Arzaboi (Eugenia stipitata) grows best in partial shade to full sunlight and thrives in warm, humid tropical climates. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry weather, while ensuring good drainage to prevent waterlogging. It grows well in fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.

Recommended Planting Method for Best Results
For healthy growth and strong establishment, prepare a 2–3 ft deep pit. If available, place a layer of green leaves at the bottom. Mix 1.5 kg bone meal, 1 kg oil cake, 20 kg raw cow or goat dung, and 100 g urea with an equal quantity of soil, then fill the pit and cover it with soil.
Leave the pit for about one month, watering it daily so the mixture decomposes well. After one month, mix the contents again and add 100 g calcium or dolomite. Wait one more week, then plant the sapling.
If you need to plant immediately and cannot wait for the one-month decomposition period, do not add oil cake or calcium/dolomite; use only the soil, manure, bone meal, and urea mixture for planting.
