Great vid! I've got a pitomba tree from Excalibur about 4 or 5 yo, 15ft, now with small green flowers..leaves are not glossy. I have Jamaican cherry/ strawberry tree with flowers like yours, but these are small 0.5cm in clusters and pale green.ive had other mislabeled trees before..wondering what this is. I've invested years! Have pix but don't see anyway to post them
I have this fruit at my property in Brazil, we call it "Uvalha", the juice made from this fruit is amazing. I recommend also the fruit called "gabiroba" that is amazing too but not very know outside Brazil. The only problem is the tree takes long time to grown but I think in Florida the tree will grown very.
Do you sell this on your website? I got what was labeled as Pitomba from a local nursery and it ended up being Cherry of the Rio Grande. It's OK but this Pitomba you've got is what I really want!
Actually, I think you are confusing two different fruit. Pitomba and Uvaia are two different things. Uvaia or Uvalha is Eugenia Pyriformis. Pitomba is Eugenia Luschnathiana. Uvaias are a lighter yellow and wider than a pitomba.
*Interesting , and informative video.*
*Thanks!*

Amazing video, thanks! I have a small tree, 45cm tall or so, 4 years old... no flowers yet.
Maybe 2019 will be your year!
Interesting looking fruit..
From Where this place situated
How do they handle the fruit flies? I have seen surinam cherries in Miami full of larvae. One cherry would have like 4 larvae!
I haven't seen any larvae, but it's possible that some of the fruit have been affected.
Do u guys deliver plants
No... sorry.
But Har has a tree care business and he sometimes delivers trees.

This is exactly the one i used to ate in childhood.
It was a tree in marge of a river that washed out in rainny seasons.
Thank you

Two images, two diferents fruits.
Is it also called surinam cherry?
No. Same Eugenia family as the Surinam Cherry and similar taste but still different.
