Binomial name : Eugenia brasiliensis (or dombeyi)
Common name : Brazil cherry
The fruit are a purplish-black colour ( there is also a yellow variety) and occur after the tree has been growing for 4-5 years. It can grow to 5-10m but is a bit drought sensitive. Last summer I nearly lost mine, at one stage all the leaves drooped and started to fall, but it recovered after a good drink.
The globe artichokes are flowering - we have never grown these before so it will be interesting when we pick them to see what they taste like.
