Eugenia acutata "Vermelha Red Pitanga Peluda"

Eugenia acutata "Vermelha Red Pitanga Peluda" is a rare red variant of the species of medium-sized tree found in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. It can be identified by its oblong leaves and rounded or pear-shaped berries with soft flesh.

The tree is suitable for urban afforestation and forest restoration, as its fruits feed bird-fauna and its flowers are good for beekeeping. The fruit can be harvested and enjoyed naturally or processed to make various products such as juice, ice cream, and jellies.
