Eugenia sp Palombeta
Seeds were imported from Brazil. Eugenia sp. Palombeta is an exciting new fruit discovered in the restinga region of northern Rio de Janeiro, a sandy coastal area. This small shrub produces vibrant deep-orange fruits that are juicy, aromatic, and have a flavor reminiscent of a blend between pitangatuba (E. selloi) and pitanga (E. uniflora). Some speculate it may be a hybrid of these two species. The northern Rio de Janeiro region features a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, characterized by a wet summer and a drier winter. This area aligns roughly with USDA Hardiness Zones 10-11, where average minimum temperatures remain above 30°F (-1°C). These conditions are comparable to parts of southern Florida and coastal southern California. Seeds are germinated and shipped in humid vermiculite.
