Myrciaria aff. tenella - Preta is an exceptionally rare shrub or small tree, closely related to Myrciaria tenella, native to Santa Catarina, Brazil. Growing to 2–4 meters in height, it produces small, black-purple fruits approximately 2 cm in diameter, each containing a single seed. The fruits are reported to be sweeter and more flavorful than those of Myrciaria tenella, making them highly prized by collectors and fruit enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, this species faces severe threats, as the area where it was discovered has recently been deforested, and the plant itself was cut down. This is likely one of the last opportunities to collect seeds of this remarkable and almost lost species, offering a rare chance to preserve and cultivate it in private collections or botanical gardens.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
