New raffle for Eugenia blastantha 2 year old plant. $5 a spot at 20 spots free shipping to anywhere in the USA and PR.

Also have a member auctioning off Eugenia cereja another very rare fruit tree from southern Brazil. Just saw some on EBay same size go well over $100 plus shipping. This one starts at only $25 plus shipping.

Have a great day my friends.

I am not 100% sure but I think it is native to Cerrado transition area in Bahia Brazil. At the time Sellami was collecting in that region. From reports of other Psidiums and other fruit species in that area should handle down to around 28F. I can tell it doesn’t like too much water in the winter and prefers soil with very good drainage I have about 40% perlite then the rest peat moss.

I forgot to say the Psidium sp Mancha Vermelha is named that due to the red spots on the green pear shaped fruit. First pic is the fruit provided by the Seedshunter Sellami. 2nd is the actual plant 3g pot in the raffle.

Re: Jaboticaba45 livestream around 9:30pm est green pitanga tasting 🤢

Don’t miss out on the fun on the Band app, Jaboticaba45 doing a livestream event tonight around 9:30pm est. He lost a bet that he made. I said if he goes through with it I will eat a green pitanga too once I can acquire them.

“Hey guys….tonight I’m going to do the anomaly seed livestream giveaway and green pitanga eatery!
I’ll also give you a tour of the greenhouse and rare fruit rant!
I’ll be live at 9:30. There is a slight chance I might be busy, so I’ll do it tomorrow night if I can’t start by 10:00. “

Awesome fruit collection to check out not just for Myrtaceae maniacs. I am really not looking forward to eating those green pitangas now.
