The Rainforest Plum (Eugenia candolleana) is a tropical fruit tree native to the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil. It is known by local Portuguese names such as cambuĂ­ roxo (purple cambuĂ­) or murtinha (little myrtle). This small to medium-sized tree, typically reaching 3-6 meters in height, is valued for both its ornamental qualities and its delicious fruit. The tree has a rounded or conical canopy with glossy, deep green foliage and reddish-brown bark that peels naturally, revealing a smooth, reddish trunk. Its ability to thrive in tropical and subtropical climates and its relatively quick fruiting time (2-3 years) have made it a popular addition to exotic fruit gardens.

The fruit of the Rainforest Plum is a small, round to slightly elongated berry with a thin, purple-black skin. Beneath the skin is a firm, whitish, and juicy pulp surrounding a single seed. The taste is moderately sweet with a flavor often compared to that of the jaboticaba or a sweet grape. The fruit is consumed fresh, but can also be used to make jams, juices, and other culinary products. Beyond its flavor, the fruit and leaves are also notable for their nutritional and medicinal properties. The fruit is a source of vitamins and minerals, while the leaves have been used in traditional folk medicine in Brazil to make infusions for treating pain and fever.
