Well done guys. It is exciting waiting for a fruit tree to fruit for the first time. I don’t have pyriformis but my stipitata has one fruit, its first. Only a one year old plant that was bought online. I hadn’t noted any flowers, the fruit was at the bottom of the bush (about 1m x 1m in size) so I guessed I missed the flowers. It is very lush with lovely pink new growth here in the Winter of subtropical Australia and close to the ocean. Planted in pure sand with a bit of mulch in the hole and surrounds. The fruit looks like it is a month or so off being ripe but I am just not sure.
Exactly! Some years they taste better than others but all-in-all I think it’s a pretty good fruit overall. I wish it produced more. I only have one tree and it’s huge but only gives me about four or five fruit each year.
Thanks guys, wondered what this tasted like. Have been putting off getting it as only have room for tasty fruits in my little backyard forest. Might be time to add it.
ONE fruit out of HUNDREDS of flowers after EIGHT years in the ground?! With a watery mango flavor? Nahhhh, I'mma stick to growing more delicious full flavored loquats with a lot less waiting. If I'm going to devote my growing space, time, energy, and resources to a rare fruit tree, I would prefer to go with something more productive and tasty, like Jaboticabas. Now those are packed with flavor. YUM!😋
Oh, I totally agree. But I grow anything and everything and the things that are tasty.m, get to stay and the things that aren’t get to go. ;) I’m with ya on that for the most part. I have 25 species of jaboticaba growing so have to start thinning the herd
I definitely want to get more of this fruit in production so I’m going to re-plant the seeds. Some will go to our farm but as soon as we have enough then I will start to sell seedlings
Since the tree bloomed many years before fruiting, do you think this fruit was cross pollinated with a closely related species that just started to bloom this year?
I have thought the very same thing. Many people said it was self pollinating but the year it fruited was the same that so many other Eugenia species around it also bloomed at the same time makes me go “hmmmm”…
@@FancyPlants hopefully it's a cross, because if it's the 1st such cross of its kind, then you could try a fruit that nobody in the world has ever tried before!

Watery mango with a hint of pineapple sounds good. Congrats on the fruit after 8 years.
Awesome, thanks for sharing. Your tree looks beautiful, and the fruit looks great! I’ve got a few small trees, so can’t wait to try them one day :)
Thanks! Excited to see how our forest is coming along each time you do a new video. Terrific stuff.
@@FancyPlants Awesome :)
Thanks for the good review. Thought about growing some seeds, but dang, 8 years?
Hell yeah cant wait for mine to fruit, Congrats!
I love uvaia!🥰 a lot of vitamin C!

In Brazil it's called Uvaia
Awesome review. This is the only English video about this plant.😅

This is awesome! What are you going to do with those seeds? I definitely want to grow this :).

@@FancyPlants wow great! I'd love to support you business! Do you have a website?
The wild ones I have tried were a bit acidic

Do you sell scions?
I haven’t yet but plan on it now that many of my rare collection is maturing!
@@FancyPlants where can I follow you for updates on things you may sell? Do you list from your IG page? Appreciate the reply!
