My Edible Fruit Trees: Cam VIC

Jicama

Cambuí - Myrciaria delicatula

Comments: - Myrciaria delicatula is native to southern Brazil and Argentina so I expect it will exhibit sufficient cold tolerance to grow well in Melbourne.  The tree is highly ornamental and produces orange-red fruit that have a succulent juicy sweet pulp.
