Campomanesia Lineatifolia
Seeds were imported from Brazil. Guabiraba is an evergreen tree growing 5 - 10 meters tall. The fruit is greatly appreciated within the plant's native range, where it is often gathered from the wild. The tree has been in cultivation in Peru since before the Europeans came to S. America and it is still cultivated there and elsewhere, mainly in home gardens. The tree has been recommended for increased production. This fruit is mostly consumed raw, but can be made into juices, used in ice creams, jellies and marmalade. The aromatic yellow fruit is considered to be one of the nicest in the genus. It has a soft, fleshy pulp with a very agreeable subacid flavor. The fruit is about 6cm in diameter. Seeds will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
