This delicate tree is the Pitanga tree, in portuguese named Pitangueira. It's on my backyard. This tree sprouted and growed by chance, may be the seed was droped by a bird.... Also called Surinam cherry, (Eugenia uniflora) a.k.a. Pitanga and Brazilian Cherry, unlike most other members of this genus, which are native to southeastern Asia, the Surinam Cherry is indigenous to tropical Brazil.
You can see more photos and information about Pitanga tree on my post of October 31, 2005.

ReplyDeleteTO FÉNIX: The flowers of Pitanga tree has a sweet and mild fragrance.
TO PETER: Yes, I guess I took this photo in October/November 2006, when it's blooming. (My camera has a problem, it shows the wrong data). The Pitanga tree reachs this blooming beauty as adult tree (about 3 years old). The Pitanga tree forms a large shrub or a small tree approximately 20 feet in height. Great, you wrote in Portuguese! Grande abraço, too!
TO PEARL: I would like to make a visiting on your blog, but please, send me your address.

ReplyDeletePassou o carnaval e agora vamos encarar o novo ano.
Obrigado pela visita ao meu blog.
Não sou um bom reporter, deixo muito a desejar. Preciso ir me soltando, mas chego lá.
A cidade onde foram feitas as fotos do engraxate é Jacareí, onde moro desde Janeiro de 1965.
A Igreja que aparece ao fundo é a Matriz que foi construida no tempo do Império.
Vou colocar estas informações no meu blog também.
Abrços
Sônia querida, pela quantidade de flores na pitangueira, vamos ter por aí, uma colheita farta.
ReplyDeleteEla está linda assim florida, carga total heim?
Um beijo.
Sonia, esta árvore me lembra o sítio de meus sogros, como é linda, gosto de ver quando os frutos começam a amadurecer, ficam flores, frutos verdes e frutos vermelhos misturados, um espetáculo da natureza... Bjs!
