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).
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.
Hi Miguel,
which of these psidium species are resistant to aphids? Can i have You price list to my PM?
Thanks.
Does anyone known more of Eugenia Uniflora var. dasyblasta? , I read that Eugenia uniflora var. Dasyblasta (I'm not sure that this is the name), is a variety of native cherry in cold regions in southern Brazil, which tolerates more than -10 ° C. It produces fruit only once a year, but a larger amount of fruits. Its fruits are smaller, but much sweeter than the native variety of hot regions.
Hello Miguel!
Do you still have some seeds available, of the first four species?
Thank you,
João
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!
Recently, I asked Miguel to send some Psidium seeds, and this is what I have got. The different seed shapes and sizes are so distinctive.
Thank you, Miguel, and all of you, who distribute seeds. Thank you, for sharing your seeds, knowledge and pleasure.
Hey Miguel
Do you plan on offering these seeds again ?
Thanks
