Description
A newly discovered blue-fruited Myrciaria from Bahia
Myrciaria sp. “Blue from Camacã” is an exceptionally unusual new Brazilian fruit material from Camacã, Bahia.
The most immediately striking characteristic is the fruit color:
The fruits ripen blue.
Among rare Brazilian Myrtaceae, unusual fruit coloration is always highly interesting — and a newly discovered blue-ripening Myrciaria is exactly the kind of material that attracts serious collectors.
The exact scientific identity remains unresolved, so we are offering it honestly as Myrciaria sp. “Blue from Camacã”.
Sweet and pleasant flavor
According to direct collector observations, the fruits have a sweet and very pleasant flavor.
The fruits are relatively small, averaging approximately 1.5 cm, but the appeal of this accession is not based on giant fruit size.
Its strength lies in the combination of:
Blue-ripening fruits
Sweet, pleasant flavor
Low-growing plant habit
Newly discovered material
Rare Bahia origin
Unresolved scientific identity
This is a very distinctive package for advanced Myrciaria and jaboticaba collectors.
A low-growing Myrciaria
The plant is described as low-growing, another characteristic that makes this accession especially attractive.
Compact or relatively low-growing Myrtaceae are often highly desirable among collectors working with greenhouse, patio, protected growing, or limited-space collections.
As with all seed-grown plants, final size and growth habit may vary according to genetics and growing conditions.
Why the name “Blue from Camacã”?
The exact species identity has not yet been conclusively resolved.
For this reason, we prefer to maintain a practical working name based on the blue mature fruit color and Camacã origin.
This material should not be treated as a formally described cultivar or definitively identified species.
We strongly prefer scientific caution over assigning an unsupported species name to newly collected Brazilian material.
Fruit
The fruits are reported to average approximately 1.5 cm.
They develop an unusual blue coloration at maturity.
The flavor is described from direct tasting as sweet and pleasant.
The fruit and plant photographs associated with this listing represent the collector-documented seed-source accession.

Why this accession is exceptional
Rare Myrciaria collectors are accustomed to seeing fruits in shades of black, purple, red, yellow, or green.
A newly discovered blue-ripening Myrciaria immediately stands apart.
Combined with its sweet flavor and low-growing habit, this material has several characteristics that make it particularly attractive for advanced Brazilian Myrtaceae collections.

August Pre-Sale
⚠️ AUGUST PRE-SALE ITEM
This listing is part of our August 2026 rare seed collection.
The August Pre-Sale is separate from our July Pre-Sale.
Orders containing August pre-sale items will be prepared with the corresponding August rare seed batch.

Germination & Care
Fresh Myrciaria seeds should be planted as soon as possible after arrival.
Use a moist, organic, loose and well-aerated growing medium with excellent drainage.
Keep the medium consistently moist but never permanently waterlogged.
Do not allow fresh Myrciaria seeds to dry completely.
Warm conditions and bright indirect light or partial shade are recommended during early development.
Fresh Myrtaceae seeds may occasionally begin germinating during storage or transportation.
A seed arriving with an emerging root is alive and should be planted immediately.
Handle emerging roots carefully and avoid unnecessary manipulation.
Important Collector Note
This material is offered as Myrciaria sp. “Blue from Camacã” because its exact botanical identity remains unresolved.
It is not being presented as a formally described species or named cultivar.
Its combination of blue-ripening fruits, sweet flavor, low-growing habit and newly discovered status makes it an exceptionally interesting accession for collectors of rare Myrciaria, jaboticabas, and Brazilian Myrtaceae.
