Chrysophyllum excelsum - GERMINATED
Chrysophyllum excelsum, also known locally as guajará, is a magnificent and rare fruit tree native to the border region of Brazil and Venezuela, thriving in the tropical forests of the lower Amazon. Belonging to the Sapotaceae family, it is closely related to other Chrysophyllum species like star apple (C. cainito), but stands out for the quality of its fruit.
The tree produces sweet, flavorful fruits that are highly appreciated by those who have had the chance to try them, though it remains virtually unknown outside its native range. Its rarity has made it an object of conservation and botanical interest, with cultivation efforts underway at the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi in Belém, one of the oldest and most respected research institutions in the Amazon region.
