Key Features

Compact size — perfect for containers and small gardens

Produces sweet, medium-sized berries in late spring to early summer

Evergreen foliage in warm climates for year-round beauty

Heat-tolerant and thrives in Southern states and low-chill zones

Beautiful pink spring blooms attract pollinators

Special considerations

Requires acidic soil (pH 4.5–5.5) for best growth and fruiting

Benefits from mulch to keep roots cool and soil moist

Avoid planting near concrete or alkaline soils

Container growers should use acidic potting mix (azalea/camellia mix)

Prune lightly after harvest to maintain shape and encourage new growth

Protect fruit from birds if needed with netting

Growing and Care Instructions

Soil: Acidic, well-draining
Harvest Season: Late spring to early summer
Pollination: Self-fertile
Use an acid-loving plant fertilizer (such as one for azaleas, camellias, or blueberries)

Avoid high-nitrogen lawn fertilizers near the plant — they can damage roots

Slow-release or organic options (like cottonseed meal or blueberry-specific blends) work great

Do not fertilize late in the season, as it can encourage tender growth before winter

  • Fertilizing

    Feed in early spring and again in mid-summer.

  • Watering

    consistently moist but not soggy, 2–3 times per week

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
