Plinia sp Mancha Vermelha
Plinia sp. "Mancha Vermelha" is a large, cauliflorous tree reaching approximately 18 meters in height, native to the Atlantic Forest region near Itacaré, Bahia. It thrives in humid, tropical conditions and is notable for its size and heavy fruiting habit. The tree has glossy, dark green leaves typical of the genus and produces fruit directly on the trunk and main branches.
The fruits ripen to a striking bright red or orange and are highly aromatic and flavorful, with a taste described as amazing when eaten out of hand. The flavor and texture are somewhat reminiscent of cambucá (Plinia edulis), but based on fruit structure and growth habit, our fruit hunters are confident this represents a distinct, previously undocumented species or variety. Seeds were sourced from cultivated trees, and this is a rare find with limited availability.
Seeds are sold in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
