Grumichama - Eugenia brasiliensis
Grumichama is a slow growing Brazilian relative of the lilly pilly that behaves in the garden like a very well mannered hedging plant and happens to produce fruit. Leaves are thick, glossy and leathery, with copper toned new growth, and the plant naturally builds a dense upright column with almost no pruning. The fruit is the bonus: dark purple-black, cherry sized, sweet with a slight resinous note, ripening in a short burst in early summer.
Why Grumichama
Dense narrow habit: It grows upright and tight naturally, so it screens without needing to be sheared into shape.
Edible crop: Cherry-like fruit follows the spring flowers, edible straight from the tree and good for jam.
Flushing new growth: Each growth cycle produces bronze to copper new leaves that contrast with the older dark foliage.
Clean plant: It is largely free of the psyllid damage that disfigures many lilly pilly hedges in humid gardens.
Slow and predictable: Its measured growth rate means less trimming and no risk of a hedge running away from you.
Ideal Applications
Fruiting hedge: A close planted row gives a formal evergreen boundary that crops in early summer.
Narrow side boundaries: The upright form fits corridors of two metres or less between a fence and a path.
Subtropical feature: Grown as a single small tree it makes a glossy, well proportioned specimen for a courtyard.
Large pots: Slow growth and a compact root system make it viable long term in a substantial container.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 4m
Best Planting Season: Spring or early autumn in frost free districts
Soil & Drainage: Moist, well drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. It will not thrive on dry sand or in soil that stays wet after rain.
Establishment Care: Water twice weekly through the first two summers, since the plant is shallow rooted and suffers quickly in dry heat. Mulch generously with compost and bark, shelter young plants from frost in cooler districts, and feed with a slow release fertiliser in spring and again after fruiting.
