Eugenia sp Batinga Verdadeira - GERMINATED
Eugenia sp. 'Batinga Verdadeira' is a newly identified and exciting species of Eugenia, recently discovered in the Uruçuca region of Bahia, Brazil. The wild specimen observed reached an impressive 15 meters in height, indicating this species may mature into a tall, stately tree well-suited for both agroforestry systems and rare fruit collections.
The fruits are black when ripe, with a generous amount of red to white pulp. They are said to be very sweet, with a flavor profile similar to Eugenia uniflora (Surinam cherry), but with a notable improvement—no resinous aftertaste. This makes Batinga Verdadeira especially appealing to those who enjoy tropical fruits but are sensitive to the strong, sometimes medicinal notes typical of related species.
Still little-known outside its native range, this species holds strong potential as a flavorful and ornamental fruit tree. With its tall growth habit and high-quality fruit, Eugenia sp. 'Batinga Verdadeira' may soon become a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts seeking new, palatable Eugenia varieties.
