Plinia Rivularis - Guaburiti

Seeds were imported from Brazil. Guaburiti is an evergreen tree with a wide, dense, roundish, low crown; it can grow 6 - 11 meters tall. The short bole branches from very low down, it can be 25 - 40cm in diameter. The tree is valued mainly for its edible fruit, which is gathered from the wild and consumed locally, though it also produces a useful wood. It is occasionally cultivated in domestic orchards for the fruit; can be grown as a pioneer when restoring native woodlands or establishing woodland gardens; and, since it provides a good shade, it can be grown as an ornamental for use in landscaping. Seeds will be shipped in humid vermiculite.
