Eugenia sect. pisiformis var. costata ‘Una’ is a purple-fruited variation of Eugenia pisiformis native to Brazil. The tree produces fruits around 2 cm in size with a thin, edible skin and dark red to burgundy, juicy, and sweet flesh. The flavor is generally described as the same as standard Eugenia pisiformis, which many collectors outside of the United States consider one of the best-tasting Eugenias.
To be transparent, one collector in the United States who fruited Eugenia pisiformis was disappointed with the eating quality. Despite this, the costata variation stands out for its attractive purple fruits, rich flesh color, and ornamental appeal, making it a worthwhile trial for serious Eugenia collectors.
Seeds are sold in packs of one. They are shipped in humid vermiculite.
