It's nice hearing from Marco Lacerda, coauthor of Brazilian Fruits and Cultivated Exotics. We had an exchange of correspondence and seeds some years ago when I was a member of the Yahoo Árvores Group. He tells me that he's still growing the ubaia (Eugenia patrisii) that I sent him. His message reminded me that I took this picture of fallen ubaia fruit only last week. The producing tree is from a seed I acquired from Didi Macedo in Mararu. We have ubaia trees in the Bosque Santa Lúcia woods but they don't produce much fruit anymore because of the intense shade.Saturday, February 09, 2008
