Why Choose Orange Pitanga?
- Rare and Exclusive: The Orange Pitanga is an uncommon variety of Eugenia uniflora, and it’s highly sought after due to its unique orange fruit, which is not easily found in nurseries or stores. It’s a fantastic addition to any collection of tropical fruit trees.
- Delicious Flavor: The fruits are known for their sweet, slightly tangy flavor with subtle hints of tropical zest. Perfect for fresh eating, making jams, or adding to desserts, the Orange Pitanga offers a fresh twist on the traditional Surinam Cherry.
- Highly Productive: This fast-growing tree can start producing fruit within 2-4 years, providing you with a bountiful harvest every season.
Growing Conditions:
- Climate Requirements: Orange Pitanga thrives in USDA zones 9-11, making it ideal for tropical and subtropical climates. However, it can also be grown in containers in cooler regions, where it can be brought indoors during colder months.
- Soil Preferences: Like most Eugenias, the Orange Pitanga prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. A rich mix with organic matter will ensure optimal growth and fruit production.
- Sunlight: It requires full sun for the best fruit production, though it can tolerate partial shade. Full sun exposure enhances the sweetness of the fruit.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Regular watering, especially in dry periods, is crucial for the tree’s health.
