Great feedback...  I'm guessing your fruits are about the size of these:





Also... If I wasn't already calling them Topaz I would consider your description -  "Peach Bomb".

There abouts.  I am kinda wondering if this is a pitomba hybrid by chance or another eugenia like sweet uvaia?

i was honestly a little scared.  It's a lot of money for a pitangatuba.  I am glad that it has met the hype!

I had a bunch of good takes with Topaz on my two large tubas. I will get some photos soon, the grafts are growing vigorously.

My Topaz  plant is starting to bloom heavily again.
Just moved it back into the greenhouse for the Winter.
