Fruit of the Year - Camu Camu

 We hope for one new fruit from the greenhouse every year. This year it's the Camu Camu, Myrciaria dubia. Mine came to me by way of a friend Ethan in California, and we've grown it for many years now in the greenhouse. 

Like its cousin,the plant has nice peeling bark and tolerates wet soil. And, like its cousin, Camu Camu also fruits directly on the trunk. The fruit is very similar to jaboticaba, but with smaller seeds. We got about 4 fruit this year.
