Eugenia sp Laranja Camamu - Large fruits
Eugenia sp. "Laranja Camamu" is a striking, unidentified species of the Eugenia genus found in the sandy soils of Camamu, Bahia, Brazil. This tall tree can reach up to 20 meters (about 65 feet) and stands out for its ornamental appeal, particularly its large, bright green, elongated leaves. It produces exceptionally large fruits, roughly the size of a tennis ball, with a vibrant appearance and unique structure.
The fruit contains about 40% edible flesh and 60% seed and skin. The pulp is sweet and acidic, with a mild astringent note, making it both refreshing and distinctive in flavor. The seeds are also notably large—comparable to the size of a golf ball. This species holds strong potential for ornamental planting and local fruit consumption, and its impressive size and flavor profile suggest it may be of interest for further study and possible cultivation.
Seeds sold in packs of one. Seeds are viable and will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
