Hello Miguel how are you? For me the Psidium longipetiolatum is the best araçá i tried, but the yellow and red ones are great too... but the  p.l. it's soo great, it's very big and sweet with a lime zest! Yummy!

Hello Luis
All OK up here... hope you're OK too.
I also find those P. longipetiolatum fruits very tasty... and this one is probably the cold hardiest of all the psidiums I am growing...definitely this one is hardier than the P. catleyanum that do suffer a lot outside here at my place.
All the best for the New Year!

Hello again Miguel! Yes this tree is very hardy! She never loose the leaves like the other psidium species and it's very beautifull. I still have two fruits on the tree that are growing and maturing. Even with the strong frosts i got she is ok and the fruits too... Impressive!
Happy New Year to you and your family!

Hi Miguel, the Psidium myrtoides is the species that other people calls Psidium eugeniaefolia?

I tasted my first eugeniaefolias this week (seeds from USA or Madeira... ). They smell like guavas and the taste is similar to strawberry guavas + tropical guavas + psidium australe, but maybe more acid. Pulp is pinkish... red... white...; 2 or 4 seeds per fruit.  14º to 16º Brix (sweet), what is quite remarkable for such an acid fruit.

Does it sounds like your p. myrtoides to you? Do your p. myrtoides smells like guavas?

Also, Helton wrote about p. eugeniaefolia: " Os frutos são bagas subemisféricas (que é quase redonda) de 1,5 a 3,6 cm de diâmetro com casca roxo escura ou quase negra quando totalmente madura. A polpa é arroxeada, acidulada, envolvendo 10 a 22 sementes angulosas e de cor creme.", but mines doesnt have 20 to 22 seeds: just 2, 3 or 4..

Do these fruits get worms in them? I know Psidium cattleianum always seems gets worms. Where as a lot of the regular Psidium guajava don't.

I feel very lucky because these fruits don't get any worms here in Portugal... maybe they're so rare that even the fruits flies don't know them yet...

Hey Marcos... none of my fruits had so many seeds like Helton says... as far as I remember 4 or 6 seeds per fruit were the normal quantity...

[huertasurbanas]

That is rare about the Helton's description... well, maybe there is a lot of variation in this species...

The photos in his site about eugeniaefolia and myrtoides show very different leaves, mines look just like eugeniaefolia (brillantes, con nervaduras menos notables que la myrtoides).

Marcos... be aware that the species that Helton call P. myrtoides is not the same species you and I are growing... the Helton P. myrtoides is a completely diferent species with much more impressed leaves and much more acid/sour fruits... I know beacuse I have grown bot species side by side and they are very diferent.

The kind of Araçá-una fruits you and I have corresponds to the species that H. Lorenzi et al call Psidium myrtoides on the new book FRUTAS NO BRASIL

Hello friends

I still have seeds available of all rare Psidium species, so if someone's interested please PM or Email.

P.S.: Don, if you see this please contact me... I don't remember which seeds you asked for...

Thanks
