The Suriname cherry (Eugenia uniflora),[5] also known as the Brazilian cherry,[6] Cayenne cherry,[7] cerisier carré,[8] monkimonki kersie, ñangapirí,[9] pitanga,[6] shimarucu,[10] and Suriname cherry.[11] is a plant which mostly grows on the eastern coast of South America. It is in the family Myraceae (the myrtles). The plant may look like a cherry, but is not related to true cherries. The Suriname cherry can be found from Suriname, French Guiana to southern Brazil, as well as parts of Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay.[12][13][14] It is known as pitanga throughout Brazil and Uruguay, or ñangapirí in surrounding countries. The plant is relatively easy to grow, resists pests well, and is high in antioxidants.[15] The tree is also grown in the West Indies, specifically in Haiti, where it is known as Cerisier Carré, as is in French Guiana.[12] The Suriname cherry is often used in gardens as a hedge or screen. The tree was introduced to Bermuda for ornamental purposes but is now out of control and listed as an invasive species.[16] In Suriname this cherry is known as Monkimonki Kersie, also Montjimontji Kersie. The tree has also been introduced to Florida.[17]
