English term or phrase: rumberry tree
Gibt es einen deutschen Namen für rumberry? Es ist allerdings nicht "Guavenbaum", denn im selben Text stand auf Englisch schon "Guava Tree".

Vielen Dank im Voraus!

The guavaberry or rumberry (Myrciaria floribunda or Eugenia Floribunda) is a fruit tree which grows in the Caribbean. The guavaberry, which should not be confused with the guava, is a close relative of Camu Camu.

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 cherries, are yellow-orange or dark-red and contain a small amount of transculent flesh surrounding a stone.

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.

Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dubia) ist ein Strauch aus der Familie der Myrtengewächse (Myrtaceae), der 1959 erstmals klassifiziert wurde. Die Art ist in der westlichen Amazonasregion, insbesondere in Peru heimisch.
In Brasilien nennt man die Pflanze „Caçari“ oder „Araçá d’água“, in Mexiko und anderen Lateinamerikanischen Länder "Guayaba“.
Camu-Camu ist ein weißblühender Strauch, der meist zwischen 3 und 6 Meter hoch wird. Er blüht zwischen Juli und September, und trägt von Dezember bis April rote Früchte, die zwischen 6 und 14 Gramm wiegen, etwa 3 cm groß sind und meist 2 Kerne haben.

  -> Yes, difficult. I noticed my source says it's called guayaba in Mexico, and I have such a tree in my garden. The fruit is tasty and the size of a golf ball.
