Pouteria durlandii var. Sul da Bahia is a remarkable and recently discovered variation of Pouteria found near Ilhéus in Bahia, Brazil. This species produces attractive fruits roughly the size of a baseball, ripening to beautiful shades of yellow and red when fully mature. Each fruit typically contains around three seeds surrounded by a generous amount of sweet, flavorful pulp.
The fruits are most often enjoyed fresh out of hand due to their rich taste and satisfying texture. While they could certainly be used for jellies, sweets, or other homemade preparations, collectors report that the fruits are usually eaten long before they ever leave the forest. Native to the humid tropical climate of southern Bahia, this species thrives in warm, moisture-rich environments and represents an exciting addition for collectors seeking rare and delicious Sapotaceae fruits.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
