Myrcia sp. Gomidesia is an unidentified but distinctive species within the Myrcia genus, native to the northeastern Atlantic Forest of Brazil. This small tree or shrub grows up to 3 meters tall and produces unusually large fruits for a Myrcia. One of its most striking features is the fruit's color transition—starting as a golden yellow before ripening to a deep purple, making it especially ornamental and easy to identify during various stages of maturity.
The fruits have a slightly sweet pulp and are enjoyable to eat fresh. Their size and vibrant coloration, combined with the plant’s compact growth habit, make this a particularly unique and attractive species for collectors of rare tropical fruit trees.
Seeds are from a cultivated tree and are shipped in packs of one, in humid vermiculite.
