Eugenia glazioviana Seeds
Eugenia glazioviana, also known as "Pitanga da Mata," is a remarkable species within the Myrtaceae family, native to Brazil’s Atlantic Forest and Cerrado transition zones, particularly in São Paulo. This large shrub or small tree, reaching heights of 10 to 20 feet, is prized for its ornamental appeal with multiple thin trunks, aesthetic foliage, and vibrant red fruits. Thriving in virgin vegetation areas such as woodlands and gallery forests, it displays xerophytic characteristics, including a thick cuticle, hypostomatic leaves, and glandular ducts along the stalk that joins a leaf to a stempetiole. The fruits, measuring 3 to 4 cm in diameter, are not only visually striking but also vital to local ecosystems, attracting birds and forest animals that aid in seed dispersal and biodiversity promotion. With its ecological significance and striking ornamental features, Eugenia glazioviana is both a symbol of Brazil’s rich natural heritage and a valuable addition to gardens and reforestation efforts.
