Stevo, you really should have picked the username Steve T, and piggyback on the reputation of your co-germinal. You would command much more respect from these heathens.

Guaquica is rated very positively on this forum.
For instance, dreamfrutas wrote: "Myrciaria guaquiea, is one of the rarest of all fruits from the Atlantic Rain Forest. Until a few years ago the Guaquica was known only for old references, not even a picture of this species existed. It was mentioned as growing in the seashore of Rio de Janeiro state, in an area with big real state pressure and speculation, so the danger of extinction was really big. Initially we located only one tree, and over the last years I was able to locate a very few more.  The fruit is not only extremely rare, it is also delicious, sweet and fresh, with a complex flavor not plain at all."
Alexandre Neles wrote: "The fruit has a transparent pulp, like glazoviana Myrciaria, however has greater amount of pulp and very sweet. When you bite into the fruit it explodes in your mouth. Guaquica is better, save more pleasant, and does not have what I hate about glazoviana, forget and bite the peel is almost equal drinking perfume, bad taste. On the appearance of the trees, just clean the area with a hoe, fertilizer with manure, coffee straw, that photo to see some of my coffee trees, 2 x 150 g for years, NPK 05.20.20, without irrigation because I have 1490 mm of rainfall a year. In this way the plants grow more naturally, soon intend to take NPK, I will use only organic fertilizer.

Eugenia luschnathiana = CURUIRI.    Talisia esculenta = PITOMBA
I do not recommend people deal with Fruit Lovers, Prisca Mariya or Fernando Malpartida
