Thank you, and I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!!!

We have decided to randomly put the $100 discount codes in packages at random. So if you order anything look out for an envelope with instructions on how to use it!! If you get one shout us out on social media with your envelope so people we did send them out lol. I think this will be the easiest way for me to do it..

Shot - Its wild how some species sprout in 2 days and others take months or years. I am happy you FINALLY had success with one of these seeds. All of my seeds/plants are covered so if the other seed doesnt eventually sprout or something else doesnt grow well for you go to our support page and we will make it right.

SPRING SALE!!

Having to live in Kentucky, and go through a decently long ROUGH winter, I CANNOT be more happy that spring has finally arrived!! To celebrate, I have decided to do a spring sale, along with a giveaway.

First, we have just updated the site with 15 new species, those can be viewed here: https://www.bellamytrees.com/seeds

Second, EVERYTHING in the store is 20% off. It will be automatically deducted at checkout. Later this week I plan to list a few seedlings as well. I will update this post as I list the seedlings.

Third, we will be giving away FIVE Eugenia Pulcherrima seedlings to FIVE lucky people. Four of the seedlings will be going to customers who make a purchase on the website. For every $10 spent, including shipping costs, you will be entered for a chance to win one of these seedlings. They have NEVER been offered in america before. Not as a seed, or as a plant. If you do not want to purchase anything from the site, you can still have a chance to win by following our instagram page. We will be giving away one seedling to a random instagram follow. We will cover shipping costs for the plant and everything. You can view and follow out account here:  https://www.instagram.com/bellamytrees/

Eugenia Pulcherrima info (courtesy of E-Jardim.com) -

This tree produces a large fruit (4-6 cm long x 2.5-3.5 cm wide), with an intensely orange rough surface, with a very thin edible skin, containing very juicy pulp of the same color, with a pleasant bittersweet taste. They are elongated and have ribs (divisions) that are barely visible, in addition to sepals at the end, revealing a distant kinship with the pitanga or pitangatuba ( Eugenia selloi ). In terms of taste, it is less acidic than the latter. Its shape, texture and color are also somewhat reminiscent of the cajá-mirim ( Spondias mombin ), the reason for its popular name. The plant is a medium-sized tree, with a trunk and leaves somewhat similar to those of the black grumixama ( Eugenia brasiliensis ). In the original description published at the end of the 19th century (Kiaerskou, 1893) this similarity was pointed out, but even in the vegetative state  E. pulcherrima is easily identifiable by the leaves and new branches changing from green to rusty, hairy orange (see photo). The fruits are consumed raw, or used in the same way as pitangatuba. The plant is extremely beautiful (the species name in Latin, pulcherrima, means beautiful) and should be used in landscape compositions that value the beauty of its young orange and velutine branches. In the initial phase it is a little sensitive to the sun, but soon it adapts to full sun, and can also be grown in partial shade. Adapts well to a variety of soils, reacting well to frequent fertilization. Endemic to Rio de Janeiro, in the Atlantic Rain Forest, where it is quite rare. Species described at the end of the 19th century, from fertile branches (with flowers), but without observation of the fruits. Of these, only one report by the late botanist Dimitri Sucre was known in the early 1970s, without ever having been documented.




THIS SALE WILL START NOW 4/12/2023 AND END IN SEVEN DAYS, ON 4/19/2023 AT MIDNIGHT!!

That is a project I have been doing off and on for about 6 months. I totally agree especially with the amount of species that have been available over the last few months. I have the next three days off work and will get back to this and try to create something. I appreciate the input from everyone and stay tuned! If anyone needs some info or photos ASAP reach out on our support page and I will send them to you directly until I can get this worked out. Thank you and have a great weekend! (New drop coming soon)
