Eugenia Uniflora var "Grande" Live Plants

Eugenia uniflora var. Grande is a remarkable selection of the well-known Pitanga, also called Surinam Cherry, prized for its significantly larger fruits and excellent flavor. This attractive fruiting species combines the ornamental beauty of traditional Pitanga with the added advantage of producing noticeably bigger fruits.

The fruits retain the characteristic tropical taste that has made Pitanga popular among fruit enthusiasts. Their flavor offers a delightful blend of sweetness and acidity, creating a rich and refreshing eating experience. What truly distinguishes this variety is its fruit size, with ripe fruits reaching up to 3 cm in diameter—substantially larger than those of typical forms.

The juicy fruits can be enjoyed fresh from the tree and are also well suited for a variety of culinary uses, including juices, jams, jellies, ice creams, desserts, and other fruit-based preparations. Their larger size makes harvesting and processing more convenient while providing more edible flesh per fruit.

In addition to its productive nature, Eugenia uniflora var. Grande is valued for its ornamental qualities, featuring attractive foliage, delicate flowers, and colorful fruits that enhance the beauty of gardens and landscapes. Its adaptability, generous fruit production, and outstanding fruit quality make it an excellent choice for home growers, tropical fruit enthusiasts, and collectors of rare Eugenia species.
