Eugenia Conchalensis - GERMINATED

$3.00

Seeds were imported from Brazil. A very rare and little known species that was mistakenly classified here as Eugenia campestris and Eugenia arrabidae which are actually names of other species. It is a bush with 1 to 2 meters in height with underground xylopodium (type of water storage potato) with several branches starting from the base, the old stem is grayish in color and the new branches are glabrous (without hairs) of green to light brown. The leaves are simple, opposite, of cartaceous consistency (similar to cardboard), oblong (longer than wide) and lanceolate (similar to a spear). Blade measures 3 to 7 cm long by 0.8 to 1.4 cm wide; with an acute or tapered base and acuminate apex (with a long tip) with a strong yellow prominent dorsal vein. This species can be easily identified by observing salient glands on both sides of young leaves. The flowers are hermaphrodites. The fruits can be consumed in natura and have a delicious and aromatic grapefruit flavor with cashew. The pulp can also be used to make ice cream and refreshing juices. The pulp of the fruit ferments easily and can be used to make an excellent sparkling wine or fermented beverage rich in probiotics. Seeds will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
