La`au Kana`ono....60th Plant
Surinam Cherry, Pitanga
Eugenia uniflora
A native to Brasil, the Pitanga is one of the sourest fruits I
have ever tasted yet I am willing to eat a dozen if the bush
presents itself. They grow both wild and cultivated in low-land
Hawaii. Genus Eugenia includes Mountain Apple, Jambu, Java Plum
and many other delicious fruits found occasionally in Hawaii.
