Myrciaria pilosa "XL"

Myrciaria pilosa "XL", an intriguing variant, comes from a selection process that originated from the largest fruits gathered in 2009 in the natural habitat of Serra do Ibiabapa in Northeastern Brazil.

By planting the seeds from this collection, subsequent plants have yielded notably larger fruits compared to the standard, wild M. pilosa. This specialized cultivation showcases the potential for enhancing fruit size through selective propagation, reflecting the ongoing pursuit of botanical advancement.
