Description

Myrciaria delicatula grows slowly to a semideciduous shrub or small tree, between 4 and 10 metres tall.[5] The leaves are simple, hairless, opposite, with a stem of between 2 and 4mm long, and a texture similar to cardboard. The leaf is between 2 and 3.5 cm long and between 0.5 and 1.1 cm wide, has a wedge-shaped base, and ends with a short tip.[4] The plant produces edible black berries around 10mm in diameter, containing between 1 and 4 seeds. The flavour of the fruit has been compared to that of Eugenia pyriformis.[3]
