This small fruit is from the Suriname Cherry (Eugenia uniflora). As many species at the Bonnet House it is an import from some tropical South American country; in fact the Republic of Surinam is a country in northeast South America. The Bartletts, original owners of this little patch of paradise, used to bring home species compatible with their subtropical environment. My favorite place, the Bonnet House, has closed like so many public places. Take safe care everyone. Click here for more information. Copyright 2020 Pamela Breitberg
