Its most common names are Chilean guava or Strawberry Myrtle. A native to Chile and adjacent regions of southern Argentina. It is in the same botanical family as the guava. The fruit is marketed as "Ugniberry" or, in New Zealand, the "New Zealand cranberry." Ugni is a shrub from 1-6 feet tall with evergreen foliage. In some exceptional cases, the shrub can grow up to 10 feet tall. The leaves are opposite, oval, glossy, and dark green, and when crushed, give off a spicy scent. The flowers are droop with four or five white to pale pink petals. The fruits are tiny red, and if crushed, they smell just like strawberries. Zones 8-10 Germination Place your seeds and some soil in a ziplock bag. Moisten the mixture enough, so it sticks together without water dripping out. Write the name of the seeds on the bag. Place the mixture in your refrigerator for 60 days. Seeds can then be sown into a well-drained, sandy compost and covered lightly with sand or grit. Place the seed tray in filtered bright light and keep moist until germination.
