In the last few months I also got some seeds and plants of Uvaia from different sources, and now, that most of them are germinated, I also noted that a few of them have different leaf shape, size, colour and texture. Also the growth habit changes a bit from batch to batch, and sometimes even in the same batch, there are some differences.
Some of the plants I got are already about 3 years old, and even if they come from the same source, they show some differences in growth habit and shape. One of these seems to be preparing to flower.
Here are the ones I have at the momment.
The different batches all together
These ones are from a friend in mainland Portugal, from suposedly 3 different types: Back left: médium size fruit, not very tasty, and 2 crops a year; Back right: big size fruit, sweet; Front right: Small size fruit, acid type.
Brazilian source for the both of these, but completely different plants (suposedely of a sweet type). Look the leaf size, form, veins and colour. And one of them has sets of 3 leaves at each segment, instead of 2, like most of the others I've seen.
The last ones I got. From Argentina.
Another brazilian source. Again, there are some slightly differences between them. Suposedely acid type.
These ones are from seeds I got on a trade, with a nurseryman, from Braga (mainland Portugal), and are from a suposedely sweet type.
These are my bigger plants, that I got on a local nursery, and I suspect these are originally from the nursery in Braga.
And that's what I supose to be flowers forming.
