Eugenia sp "Frankenstein"
Seeds were imported from Brazil. Eugenia sp. "Frankenstein," discovered in Maranhão, Brazil, produces yellow, elongated fruit with 6-8 distinct ribs, similar to pitangatuba but not the same. The leaves and the plant itself are quite different from pitangatuba, with long, slender leaves that make it easily distinguishable. The hunter who discovered it named it "Frankenstein" because he felt it resembled a result of a wild science experiment combining pitangatuba with something else. The fruit is less juicy than pitangatuba but lacks its astringency, offering a pleasant bittersweet flavor. This rare species is difficult to find, and our seed stock is limited. Maranhão has a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. Temperatures typically range from 24°C (75°F) to 32°C (90°F) year-round. The region falls within USDA zones 10a to 11, making it ideal for tropical plants that thrive in warmth and humidity.
Seeds are limited and sold in packs of 1. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
