Peritassa hatschbachii is a rare and little-known species native to the wet tropical forests of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Growing within this lush Atlantic Forest biome, it develops into a small tree, with the observed specimen reaching just over 8 feet in height. The tree features dark green, slender, pointed foliage that gives it an elegant and refined appearance. In season, it produces striking golf ball–sized fruits with a thick, dark blue skin that stands out beautifully against the rich green leaves.
Inside the fruit, a few seeds are enveloped in a very sweet, delicious flesh, offering both ornamental and edible appeal. Though still uncommon in cultivation, this species holds exciting potential for collectors and rare fruit enthusiasts seeking something truly unique. Officially accepted and published in 1999 by Lombardi, Peritassa hatschbachii remains a botanical rarity with limited availability, making it a special addition to any tropical or subtropical collection.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
