Eugenia Macrobracteolata - Pitanga Juba - GERMINATED
Seeds were imported from Brazil. PITANGA-JUBA comes from Tupi, referring to “the skin of the fruit, which is tender, thin or delicate and the adjective JUBA means that it has yellow skin”. It is also called Pitangão de restinga and Pitanga-fanta. his species was wrongly identified as Eugenia nectar , which is an invalid name and synonym for a species of Myrcia. All those who have purchased seedlings of this species have had magnificent fruit trees, and the previous error in the botanical classification does not in any way detract from the investment made in acquiring this precious plant. Small tree with a single or bifurcated trunk, with light brown, fissured bark, forming an erect, ovate crown. The leaves are simple, opposite, olive green in color and opaque on the back. Fast-growing shrub that enjoys red, sandy soils with rapid drainage of rainwater, and is resistant to light frosts of up to -3 degrees. It can be successfully cultivated throughout Brazil; and in pots measuring 35 cm in width and 40 or 50 cm in height, using a substrate made of 40% red soil, 30% sand and 30% well-rotted organic compost. At the bottom of the pot, 4 cm of stone should be placed to ensure good drainage. It begins to bear fruit after 1 to 3 years of life, depending on the climate and cultural practices. It is recommended to wait until the fruits have fallen before gathering and eating. When you collect this way they are very ripe, and they are very juicy and tasty. The fruits have a pleasant flavor of cherry and orange, and when very ripe they resemble the flavor of Fanta soda. They can be consumed raw or in the form of juices or jams and ice cream. The flowers produce a lot of nectar and pollen, great for breeding wild bees. Seeds are viable and shipped in humid vermiculite.
