Eugenia beaurepairiana "Pyriformis" Seeds
Commonly known as "Uvaia do Visconde," is a remarkable species within the Eugenia genus, celebrated for its large, pear-shaped fruits that distinguish it from other uvaia varieties. This small tree, reaching up to 15 meters in height, features peeling bark and glossy green leaves, making it a visually appealing addition to any landscape. Its vibrant orange fruits are juicy, sweet, and aromatic, surpassing the flavor of the more common Eugenia pyriformis.
Native to southern Brazil, including the states of Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo, it thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils at elevations of 300 to 1,500 meters. Ecologically, its fruits provide an important food source for birds and mammals, aiding seed dispersal and supporting local biodiversity.
With its exceptional flavor, Eugenia beaurepairiana is highly valued for fresh consumption and in the preparation of juices, jams, and desserts. Its ornamental appeal and adaptability to gardens or containers further enhance its cultural and culinary significance, making it a cherished addition for both gardeners and fruit enthusiasts
