Eugenia sp. 'Palombeta' is an exciting new fruit species being cultivated in the restinga region of northern Rio de Janeiro—a sandy, coastal ecosystem known for its unique biodiversity. This small shrub produces vibrant, deep-orange fruits that are juicy, aromatic, and flavorful, with a taste reminiscent of a cross between pitangatuba (Eugenia selloi) and pitanga (Eugenia uniflora). Some believe it may be a natural hybrid of these two well-known species.
The native habitat of 'Palombeta' features a tropical climate with warm temperatures throughout the year, marked by a wet summer and a drier winter. This region corresponds approximately to USDA Hardiness Zones 10–11, where minimum temperatures typically stay above 30°F (-1°C)—similar to conditions found in parts of southern Florida and coastal southern California.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
