How is the taste compared to other eugenias? And how long to produce from seed?
-
Greetings Everyone!
Just to let people know...
"Nelita" is a variation/selection of Cherry of the Rio Grande...
but with much larger fruit! Just look at those pictures. Wow!
Miguel is a very reputable seller, as I have bought seed from him several times... alway with high success.
I have 6 Nelita plants now and they are much easier to grow from seed than Cherry of the Rio Grande
These are rare and very interesting seeds of a plant you can't find anywhere but from Miguel.
Don't miss out on your chance to own one of these valuable plants.

I think E. calycina is a different species of Eugenia all together. I'm pretty sure Rio Grande is E. aggregata or E. involucrata.
-
The jury is still out on the exact latin name of this plant. There has been quite a bit of discussion on this plant right here in the forum.

Hi folks
Indeed there is still much confusion and discussion regarding the correct ID of "Nelita" but this subject was very much discussed here on TFF before so for anyone looking for more info just use the "search" engine on TFF and you'll find a lot of oppinions.
But really who cares about the proper ID when you can have a species producing such tasty and big fruits!... just look at the fruits I harvested this last weekend and a photo from one of last year's huge fruits

Hi Miguel!
My Neilita seed I got from you last year is doing well and just under 1' tall.
If you still have some available, I would like to order a few more. Please let me know!

My "Nelita" seeds germinated 100% and were already sprouting roots when they arrived.

Hi folks
"Nelita" is back in business again!
This year it has less fruits than usual because due to some work travels I unded up keeping my GH closed for too long and bees missed the strong flower season.
I'm keeping same price as last year ( 5 € each seed ) for minimum orders of 10 seeds.
For smaller orders price will be 6 € each seed.
Postage fee is 5 €uros
Please contact by PM if interested.
Thanks in advance!
Miguel

Don’t worry. You’re not alone. The post is crazy now. No rhyme or reason how packages are sent overseas. Sitting in office for plane or cruising on a boat? Idk.

I received my packed in 23 days from shipment.
All seeds intact and alive.

Got my seeds today super stoked!!! Most annoying part was tracking number only showed the Portugal shipping updates whereas after package left Portugal all updates stopped.

Hi Joe
Thanks for the good news.
I recently went to our local post office to ask information and complain about the lack of tracking information outside Portugal.
There they explained me that CTT blame USPS for this lack of information. Apparently during this pandemic period the USPS services and personal stopped updating the tracking informations online and CTT can't do nothing about it...
So this explains why the packages just show tracking information while they are in Portugal and most cases the last tracking information available online is "International expedition from Lisbon on date..."
Lisbon is our capital city and all international mail leaves Portugal from Lisbon international airport.
I just recomend patience to all because things seem to be moving slowly but steadily.
Thanks again and stay safe

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for the updated. I know there will be a long wait for them when I placed the order, but waiting is a torture. On the other hand, it is a good training to be patients.

Mine took about a month to arrive, but were all germinated with a decent size root on 'em.
-
seeds took just over two weeks and look to be well. Miguel has been a good seller of quality seeds each time Ive dealt with him.
-
Excellent seller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Still no seeds. I know it isn't your fault, but it is frustrating nonetheless.
-
no seeds here either. Shipped 5/18?
-
Mine arrived today in excellent condition with almost all of them germinated already. Took a month I believe. Thank you, Miguel!
-
Received my seeds today. Arrived exactly 2 week. I guess I got me the fastest.
Thanks for the extra. Great seller
Now I could confuse. The germinated one, which side go up and which side is to go down to the ground.

Hello Pinkturtle
Thankyou very much for the good news and for your kind words too.
Those are small roots growing so better to plant it pointing down.
Good luck and I remain at your full disposal in case you need anything else from me.
All the best!
Miguel

Now I could confuse. The germinated one, which side go up and which side is to go down to the ground.
You can always lay a seed light that on its side and if there is light, the root will go away from it and the shoot will go towards it. Mine are about the same.
Also as an update, my seeds took about 1 month to arrive. It sounds like the shipping is MUCH faster now and I'm looking forward to my next order arriving.
-
Thanks K-Rimes. I saw 2 stems branching out from the white stem. I assumed that is the root. So I planted the white stem down. Hope I did it right.

I believe the brown tipped one is the root, and the light white one is the shoot. Perhaps Miguel can chime in with advice.
As they say, "Roots before shoots"

I think you are right, K-Rimes. I will revert it when I am home.

Updated of the which side of sprout up or down, in case someone ran into same issue like me. K-Rimes is corrected. "Roots before shoots". After 4 days, I saw stem is shooting out.

LOL! Was just about to re-order, and seeds arrived today. Extra too. All have roots and some sprouts.
Thank you Miguel!
