Eugenia aff. chlorophylla
Eugenia aff. chlorophylla is a small tree or large shrub in the Myrtaceae family, closely related to Eugenia chlorophylla. It typically reaches a height of 2 to 5 meters (6.5 to 16.5 feet), though taller specimens may occur in favorable growing conditions.
Native to parts of Brazil, this species thrives in subtropical to tropical climates and is usually found in native forest remnants or Cerrado-type vegetation. Due to its limited cultivation and regional distribution, it remains relatively unknown outside of its native range.
The fruit, when fully ripe, is sweet and pleasant, with a flavor that has been described as reminiscent of avocado with sugar—a creamy, mild sweetness. However, if the fruit is not perfectly ripe, it can be notably astringent, making timing of harvest critical for optimal taste.
