Eugenia Villae Novae Kiaerksk , Rarely Eugenia from Brazil
Hello friends,
Today I am divulged a rare and endemic Eugenia, native of the state of Rio de Janeiro Brazil, tree of very restricted occurrence only two collection sites and we had access to one of them, Species considered vulnerable to extinction, until recently, only known By Exsicatas of the XIX century, finally rediscovered.
The tree is very close to grumixama (Eugenia Brasiliensis), but a little smaller, produces many fruits between 2 and 3 cm in diameter with fleshy pulp and orange color when ripe, taste very refined, similar to papaya papaya, always sweet.
The seeds germinate easily, I received seeds of this species in January of this year and already have seedlings with 30 cm.
There are two types of Eugenia, with small leaves and large leaves as the photo attached, the tree is very rustic, always occurring in dry and solitary places, for example example of the photo, if it is cut, will be an extinction, photo 3, Was not very clear, but to observe the abundance of immature fruits in the treetop, fruit hard to harvest according to my friend's account, because it is eagerly consumed by the fauna.
Attached is a report describing the species according to
