Description
This offering corresponds to Cambucá Duke, a very rare named selection of Plinia edulis.
This selection is being offered as distinct from Cambucá Imperial, not simply as another name for the same fruit. The two appear similar in general appearance, and both are regarded as outstanding large-fruited forms, but they are treated here as separate named selections.
Cambucá is one of the most beautiful and desirable fruit trees of Brazil, admired for its elegant foliage and its striking yellow to orange fruits produced on mature trees. In this case, the Duke selection stands out for its especially large fruit size.
According to the source for this batch, both Duke and Imperial are capable of reaching up to 4 inches / 10 cm in diameter under good conditions, placing them among the most impressive cambucá forms in circulation.
This listing is especially recommended for collectors interested in rare Plinia edulis selections, unusual Myrtaceae, and superior fruit forms with both ornamental and collector value.
Because this is a May/June pre-sale item, we strongly recommend combining it with other seeds from the same May/June pre-sale batch, or with dry seeds currently in stock, so the future shipment becomes more practical, efficient, and worthwhile.
As with other fresh cambucá seeds, they should be sown promptly and must not be allowed to dry out.
Extremely limited availability.
