Myrcia sp Nov. Purple Pitangatuba

Seeds were imported from Brazil. This is a very unique and rare specie found recently in Bahia. It is a dwarf specie.. The adult plants found were only 3 meters tall. It should be a great plant for containers. It grows as a small shrub or tree. The fruits are very unique, being long and ribbed similar to Anthropophaga and Pitangatuba, as far as shape and size, but the plant has totally different foliage. The fruits are purple, containing a single seed. The flesh is very juicy, and white/purple in color. The hunter who found them said they were delicious and sweet. Seeds are germinated, and will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
