Duguetia sp. (Atlantic Forest, Bahia) is a rare species native to the Atlantic Forest along the northern coast of Bahia, Brazil. This highly ornamental tree is notable for its cauliflorous habit, producing fruit directly on the trunk much like the Jaboticaba. The fruits are reportedly sweet with a flavor reminiscent of guava, and they can be eaten fresh right off the tree.
The species is valued both for its unique fruiting style and its decorative appeal, making it an interesting choice for collectors and tropical fruit enthusiasts. Its rarity and origin from a biodiversity hotspot add to its significance in cultivation.
Seeds are from a cultivated tree and are shipped in packs of one, in humid vermiculite.
