Eugenia Multicostata
Seeds were imported from Brazil. This is one of the rarest Eugenias in the world, native to the Atlantic Forest from southern São Paulo to northern Rio Grande do Sul. It gives its name to the city of Sapiranga, though it is now difficult to find in the wild. The fruits are 4–5 cm long, elongated, and red, resembling a large pitanga with a pleasant flavor. They can be enjoyed fresh or used to make juices, jellies, and ice cream. The tree is tall and highly ornamental, with striking foliage and a rust-red trunk. Its excellent, moisture-resistant wood contributed to its near extinction in its natural habitat. Some describe the fruit as similar to pitanga but less sweet, with an excellent seed-to-flesh ratio. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
