Selected Pitanga Scion and Seed sale
K-Rimes:
I received way too many scion requests off Mason31’s post so I guess I should offer these. I have a vast collection of pitanga (eugenia uniflora) because I adore the fruit and have ended up with some winners.
Seeds: $3 min 5 - Vermillion or Black Star, don't have others right now
Scion: $5 each, see below for size, I may be able to spare larger diameter but unlikely
Regina (seedling) really large red fruit, they go darker than most reds but I'm going to call it a red.
"Dark Purple" this was from another collector and said to be ultra sweet, he was not kidding, it is cloyingly sweet.
Black Star Pitanga (this is a seedling, but fruit goes dead black and is the best flavor. It is also has large fruit)
Black Star, super productive, sets super well
Vermillion (grafted) fruit has a great flavor, and pumps out fruit, it is basically flowering and fruiting non-stop I see why this was selected
Misiones "giant" Pitanga from Marcos in Argentina, the fruit was very small and totally smooth so I guess a black dasyblasta. It was a first fruiting though, so it will probably get bigger. Flavor was VERY sweet. I did get one large fruit off it recently, randomly. Unknown. It is definitely more cold hardy than the others I have.
Shalom's Giant Red (seedling) supposedly giant fruit, got the plant mature from another collector, it has not fruited for me but he is a legit source and I trust him it was giant
This is the size of scion I have, mostly
A nice handful of fruit from the Vermillion (red), and some Black Star at the bottom

Note: I broke my foot about 5 weeks ago and am almost out of my boot, so I can ship in about a week once I have a shoe on, thanks for the patience in advance!

Sorry to hear about the foot. Hopefully it wasn't due to plant care. There was another user here who hurt his eye on a stake. Sounds like the plants are fighting back.
Anyways, will you offer these scions in the spring? It's too cold where I live right now to graft.

I tripped on my stairs on the way to my truck, nothing plant related, or related to a cool activity.
My garden is still a bit in flux since I am probably going to have to move from where I'm at. Can't guarantee anything for now. Probably will have them on offer though. They fully defoliate here from cold, so at least they're easy to wrap haha

Silly question, Is Pitanga short for Pitangatuba?
