I got this tree from a man at  Buenos Aires, Capital Federal, it should be 2 or 3 years old, it grows fast.

It is into a 30L pot.

Ok Micah, I searched a lot about this species, and did a post on my blog in spanish, http://www.huertasurbanas.com/2015/11/07/aracazeiro-do-campo-psidium-australe-botones-florales/
It seems that some sites list it as a synonym of psidium cinereum, but other sites not.

There is a nice photo at plantarum

 the one that I tought it was psidium australe is in fact an hybrid, maybe P. guineense x P. grandifolium (Leslie Landrum told me that): frost resistance is the same and the species grows in the same region as psidium australe. A rare one! Pulp is firmer / crunchier, less gelatinous than that of the common psidium guineense and the taste is sweeter. The plant seems very similar to what you see on the internet in terms of psidium grandifolium.
