Eugenia pruniformis var. Restinga
Eugenia pruniformis var. Restinga produces delicious cherry-shaped fruits about 2.5 cm in diameter. The fruit has a smooth, very thin, and edible black skin that encloses a juicy pinkish pulp, which gradually turns red near the seed and detaches easily. The fruits offer a perfect balance of sweet and acid flavors without any astringency or unpleasant aftertaste. High in anthocyanins, this variety is considered one of the tastiest Eugenia species worldwide. The plant itself is a shrub or small tree with a distinctive reddish trunk, typically growing 2–3 meters tall under good conditions. Its attractive trunk color also gives it good ornamental potential.
This variety is endemic to the Atlantic Forest, specifically found in seaside shrubby vegetation known as restinga along the coasts of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, and Bahia. It is very productive and precocious, bearing fruit even when only about 1 meter tall, and it can thrive in full sun with well-drained soil. The restinga form of Eugenia pruniformis produces large fruits on smaller shrubs compared to mountain rocky outcrop varieties. The tasty fruits are excellent fresh but also ideal for juices, ice cream, drinks, and jellies. This variety is suitable for growing in pots, making it a versatile choice for both gardens and containers.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
