Pitanga Preta - Eugenia Uniflora Plant Information: 🌱 Name: Pitanga Preta - Eugenia Uniflora 🌱 Quantity: 1 Plant 🌱 Container: 4x4x6 Container Plant Description: Pitanga Preta – Eugenia uniflora is a rare and highly desirable variety of Surinam cherry native to Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. Unlike the common red type, this variety produces black or very dark red fruits with vibrant red pulp. The fruits are sweet with a pleasant, rich flavor and are excellent for fresh eating or used in juices, jellies, ice creams, pulps, and liqueurs. Fruiting mainly occurs from October to January, though off-season harvests may happen in favorable conditions. It’s not unusual for young plants to initially produce red or burgundy fruits, with the signature black coloration developing as the tree matures. This is a fast-growing, early-fruiting plant that thrives both in the ground and in containers, and it's well-suited for bonsai or small-space cultivation with regular pruning. It typically grows between 3 and 10 meters in height, depending on conditions and management. Pitanga Preta is known for being very productive and is a great choice for collectors seeking rare, high-quality fruit varieties that are not commonly found on the market.
