Plinia sp. Guaviare is a rare and distinctive Plinia species cultivated in the Colombian Orinoquia region. This compact shrub produces abundant crops of round, yellow fruits that stand out from the more commonly known dark-fruited jaboticabas. The fruits are especially appealing due to their small seed size and generous amount of edible pulp, making them highly enjoyable for fresh consumption.
Though it bears some resemblance to Plinia salticola, this species is clearly distinct. One of the most notable differences is the significantly smaller seed size, allowing for a better pulp-to-seed ratio compared to P. salticola. The flavor is described as sweet and very delicious, adding to its appeal among collectors. A photo in the listing highlights this difference, showing a seed of P. salticola that is noticeably larger than the seed from this Colombian variety. With its heavy fruiting habit, unique coloration, and excellent eating quality, Plinia sp. Guaviare is a standout and uncommon addition for any serious jaboticaba enthusiast.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
