Summary

Eugenia uniflora is a flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae, native to tropical South America’s east coast, ranging from Suriname, French Guiana to southern Brazil, as well as Uruguay and parts of Paraguay and Argentina. It is also known as Brazilian cherry, Cayenne cherry, cerisier carré, monkimonki kersie, ñangapirí, pitanga, shimarucu, and Suriname cherry. It is often used in gardens as a hedge or screen. It produces small, ribbed fruits (2 to 4 centimetres or 3⁄4 to 1+1⁄2 in), starting as green, then ranging through orange, scarlet, and maroon as they ripen. The tree was introduced to Bermuda for ornamental purposes, but is now out of control and listed as an invasive species. The tree has also been introduced to Florida....read more on Wikipedia.
