Hoehnean Buchenavia - Tanimbuca
Seeds were imported from Brazil. Tanimbuca comes from Tupi-Guarani and means “Fruits hanging like earrings”. It is also called Cuiarana , Piuna , Tarumarana and Boca-Boa because of the delicious plum flavor of the fruit. Native to dense hombrophyllous forest , also occurring very rarely in the transition to semideciduous forest . It is an endemic plant of Brazil and was first found in the state of São Paulo, and later in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The tree has a unique characteristic, as its branches are rhythmic and appear to form seven crowns. When in the middle of the forest, it reaches 20 to 28 m in height. Young specimens in more open forests, or when cultivated, grow from 5 to 10 m in height, with a rectilinear trunk (in a straight line), with greenish-gray bark, initially smooth, then rough. This is a rare tree, but it is very easy to cultivate since it adapts to a wide range of climate conditions and soil, which must be deep, well-drained and have good natural fertility, with a pH ranging from 4.8 to 5.8. It can be planted from an altitude of 50 m to 1,480 m above sea level. It enjoys a dry and hot climate, with minimum temperatures of 8 degrees and maximum temperatures of 38.9, and the plant can withstand up to 3 consecutive frosts of -2 degrees. It is indifferent to the volume of annual rainfall. The fruits are eaten fresh and are highly appreciated. The flowers produce a large amount of nectar and pollen. The fruits attract several species of birds and at the end of winter, the tree's leaves turn red, with a phenomenal beauty. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
