I have a section of the yard that I'm planting different types of berries and small fruits and these sound really cool. Is anyone growing these in southern California? Are these large trees or more bushy shrubs? Are there any stand out cultivars that have superior taste?

Easy plant to grow, just water good when it is flowering.

Hard to beat a big grumachama bloom for smell. Orange blossoms out and the mix is a perfume that can only be believed when smelled yourself. I have a cherry row wilth Zill Black Suriname, Barbados, Kona coffee, Corg, and grumachama Plus a pitangatuba and pitomba planted not far from others As a landscape planting the grumachama scores big there also.
