Eugenia Zuccarinii - GERMINATED
Seeds were imported from Brazil. Eugenia zuccarinii, commonly known as Guapi-Nhem Acu, is a remarkable yet lesser-known species native to the forests of Rio de Janeiro. Despite its tropical origins, this small tree is surprisingly frost-resistant, tolerating temperatures as low as 26°F. Renowned for its large, fragrant flowers, it plays a vital role in its ecosystem by attracting pollinators such as honey bees. The tree produces flavorful fruits with ample pulp, offering a taste reminiscent of dried plums and cherries, perfect for eating fresh or crafting into juices, ice creams, and jellies. Its ornamental appeal, combined with practical uses and adaptability to cooler climates, makes it a versatile choice for cultivation. Additionally, the species supports biodiversity, as its fruits are enjoyed by birds and other wildlife, and it holds potential for traditional medicinal uses. Typically, it begins flowering and fruiting within 3–4 years. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite,
