Eugenia reinwardtiana is a shrub to small tree in the family Myrtaceae.

[6] The tree is particularly common around the Cedar Bay National Park in northern Australia and the edible fruit was especially popular with the hippies who lived there in the 1970s.

[citation needed] The fruits are green at first, then ripen to a bright orange-red colour with a sweet taste and soft flesh.

The tree is cultivated to a limited extent for its edible sweetish fruit that is often eaten out-of-hand, used to flavour drinks and candies, or as a preserve.

[7] The tree is well-suited to amenity horticulture in the tropics, and is grown in the median strips in Cairns.
