Posadas Dark Red Big Pitanga – (New!)

Description

Why Choose Posadas Dark-Red Big Pitanga?

• Larger Size, Better Flavor: Unlike the typical small-sized red Pitanga, the Posadas Red variety produces fruit that is larger but still easy to handle. The fruit has a rich, sweet, and tangy flavor, making it perfect for fresh consumption or for adding a unique touch to jams, desserts, and juices.
• Rare Cultivar from Posadas: This Pitanga cultivar is specially selected from the region of Posadas, known for producing Pitangas of superior taste and size. If you’re a collector of unique tropical fruits, this is a must-have for your garden.
• High-Yielding Tree: This fast-growing tree will begin producing fruit within a few years, rewarding you with a generous harvest each season.

Growing Conditions:

• Climate Requirements: The Posadas Red Big Pitanga thrives in USDA zones 9-11, making it ideal for tropical and subtropical climates. For gardeners in cooler areas, it can be grown in a container and brought indoors during cold months.
• Soil Preferences: Like other Eugenia uniflora varieties, the Posadas Red Big Pitanga prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Enriching the soil with organic matter will help promote healthy growth and better fruit production.
• Sunlight: This tree needs full sun for optimal fruit size and sweetness, though it can tolerate partial shade. More sun exposure enhances the rich flavor of the fruit.
• Watering: Regular watering is essential, especially during the fruiting season. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
