New rare fruit seeds chilean pitanga. Etc

Chilean pitangas. Extra large extra sweet variety. Sweeter then most grumixamas. Hardy to far below freezing. Beautiful upright trees with myrtaceous peeling bark. I really dont understand why its not more commonly grown. 1$ per seed.

Gaultheria shallon (salal) sweet berries with good taste  in the blueberry family (ericaceae). Bright pigment with high antioxydent content. 5$ seed pack (tiny seeds)

Vaccinium ovatum. California huckleberry. Very productive wild blueberry relatives. Much more flavor and color then comercial blueberries 5$ seed pack

Prunus serotina. Capulin cherry. Very sweet fruits. Fruits well in tropical areas 1 perseed

Brian,

What is the scientific name for Chilean pitangas? Does it taste like Luma or Ugni?

Thx

Are the Chilean pitangas Lumas? If so why create a new name for them?
