Until I moved into my current place here in Los Angeles, I had never heard of Surinam cherries aka Pitanga aka Brazilian cherries (i’m gonna stop with the alternate names because these beauties have more nicknames than a Wu-Tang Clan member).

I’ve never tasted a fruit like these. They’re sweet, they’re tart, they’re bitter, there are one of the most complex and hard to describe flavors I’ve ever experienced.

The plants are about 8 to 10 feet tall and require almost no care at this stage. I just walk out of my place and harvest anywhere from a few to a couple small handfuls every morning. They typically ripen from around May to June, but with the unseasonably warm spring here we’re getting them a lot earlier.

Also, my little guy Bagel says hi and insisted on making a cameo there in the 2nd pic.

Eventbrite currently has a scam concert listed that even got picked up by Songkick, which sent me an email notification about new tour dates. The event listing is so bad that it's actually kinda funny. I blame Murdoc.

Be careful out there, friends.

The upper part of the plant is just fine. But some of the undergrowth is yellow and spotty. Can anyone tell me what’s going on and how to address it?

Thank you in advance!
