The guavaberry, which should not be confused with the [[guava]], is a close relative of [[Camu Camu]].<br /> <br /> Guavaberry trees or shrubs grow in a variety of shapes and sizes up to 60 feet high. They have red-brown branches and small pink and white flowers. The fruit, which are roughly half the size of [[cherry|cherries]], are yellow-orange or dark-red and contain a small amount of transculent flesh<br /> surrounding a stone.<br /> <br /> Guavaberry trees can be found growing wild in [[Central America]], [[South America]], [[Cuba]], [[Dominican Republic]], [[Haiti]], [[Jamaica]], [[Puerto Rico]], and on many islands in the [[Lesser Antilles]]. The guavaberry has also been introduced to [[Florida]], [[Hawaii]], [[Bermuda]], and the [[Philippines]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:GuavaberryEmporium.jpg|thumb|left|220px|''Guavaberry Emporium, [[Sint Maarten]]'']]<br /> <br /> Guavaberry is used to make [[jam]]s and drinks. Guavaberry [[liqueur]], which is made from [[rum]], is a common [[Christmas]] drink on many of the islands, particularly in [[Sint Maarten]] and the [[Virgin Islands]]. Guavaberry is also used for [[medicinal]] purposes.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/rumberry_ars.html<br /> *http://www.guavaberry.com/<br /> <br /> {{Fruit-stub}}<br /> {{Myrtaceae-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:fruit]]<br /> [[Category:Myrtaceae]]<br /> [[Category:Trees of the Caribbean]]<br /> [[Category:Trees of Central America]]</div>
