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.
Photos taken by myself.
