Eugenia aff. multicostata 'Verde Hexadecagona'
Eugenia aff. multicostata 'Verde Hexadecagona'
Discovered in Santa Catarina, Brazil, this striking Eugenia species is believed to be closely related to E. multicostata or E. octocostata. It grows as a large, ornamental tree with distinctive red bark and produces green fruits with 16 pronounced ribs—hence the name 'Verde Hexadecagona'. Both the tree and fruit are visually unique and highly decorative.
The fruit is mildly sweet with a creamy, smooth texture, and its flavor is comparable to that of a soft green guava, featuring tropical floral notes, subtle hints of pear and melon, and a balanced, slightly tangy undertone.
USDA Hardiness Estimate: Zone 9b–10a (subtropical; likely tolerant of mild frost due to southern Brazil origin)
Seeds are sold in 1 seed packs. Seeds are viable and very limited. Will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
