Eugenia pyriformis x lutescens first tasting

[Mike T]

I was told that this is the finest Eugenia fruit for eating out of hand and 2 of my 3 small trees flowered and fruited.



Eugenia pitanga I found no better than E.uniflora.A little bland and a little resinous.



The new jabs for me escarlettte and red hybrid are great and have more than met expectations.



I have a E.lutescens and tries the solitary fruit and it was great and almost apricot like.The verdict on E.pyriformis x lutescens is that the fruit do not live up to expectations and are more sour than sweet , they have a little bit of a resinous aftertaste and the flavour is not really rich and fruity.Not as good as pitangatuba.Perhaps being a hybrid mine has thrown too much to pyriformis and they are not all like this.
