Flacourtia Indica - Governors Plum
Seeds were imported from Brazil. Flacourtia indica is a slow-growing, ornamental, spiny evergreen shrub or tree. It can reach a height of 10 meters, but is usually smaller. The tree is cultivated in some areas of the tropics, particularly in Asia, for its edible fruit. Nearly everywhere cultivated in the tropics of the Old World and less often in the New World. The plant is also sometimes grown as an ornamental. Resembling a small plum in shape, the deep red to purple fruit has a soft, juicy pulp that can range in flavor from acidic to sweet. At its best, the fruit is sweet and agreeable, and can be eaten out of hand. Seeds will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
