Description: Cambuca ~Cambucá~ Plinia edulis Family: Myrtaceae Synonyms: Marlierea edulis, Rubachia glomerata Common names: Cambuca-verdadeiro Cambucá is a tree that grows wild in Brazil in the coastal rainforest regions around the Brazilian cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Cambucá fruit has a pleasant taste resembles a light combo of mango and papaya. You are bidding on * live seedlings with vigorous root systems * inches tall with * leaves born and growing in a small container for ease of transplant. The Cambucá fruit coloration is yellowy-green, size is 6 cm in diameter and taste is sweet-sour. The name Cambucá came from the Tupi Indian word kãbu'ká, which means "The bud plant". This name is derived from the local native word for jar, "cambuci", due to the tree's fruit resembling a type of water container which some would say is "flying saucer" shaped. Cambucá, a superior fruit in many people's opinion, was unreasonably forgotten by the first explorers despite its qualities, as the well-balanced sweet-acid flavor, the soft texture, the medium fruit size, the high pulp content and the large fruit yield. Even in Brazil, there are very little people who know it. Some trees called "Cambucaseiros" grow only in a few rare fruit growers’ orchards and in some botanic gardens. It was a very usual fruit at the Rio de Janeiro markets 60 years ago but today Cambucá has disappeared due to devastation of its natural environment. The very smooth, short stalked, globular berry is larger than most Myrciaria and Eugenia. They are green at the beginning, turning yellow to bright orange-yellow when ripen, presenting many slightly raised longitudinal ridges. Under the leathery, thin skin, there is a soft, fibreless juicy, orange-yellow thick flesh, similar to a peach in texture. It involves an incredibly delicious, translucent yellow pulp that encloses one or two hard, oblong, flattened, light purple seeds. Both, flesh and pulp, have a delicious, well balanced sub acid to sweet flavor, resembling Jaboticabas, Grumichamas and Pitombas, but without any trace of astringency or resinous aftertaste. On the short finely hairy, petioles there are evergreen, opposite, elliptic-acuminate, leathery, glossy, curled margin leaves, glabrous, dark green above and slightly downy, light green below. The round flower buds are 0.3 cm in size. The sessile, white flowers, with a cluster of numerous stamens are born in group of 2-8 flowers on the branches. Cambucá is a very slow growing, evergreen tree. A Cambucá tree can grow to a height of thirty feet. The short trunk has a wide and dense crown of slender, spreading branches. As many other plants from its family, it has a smooth, thin, pale brownish-gray outer bark easily pealed off in large flakes to show the coppery layer below. Cambucá is native from the Brazilian southeast coast, between parallel 21° and 24° south in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo states, a very narrow area surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the "Serra do Mar" mountain ridge. There is very little information about the existence of Cambucá growing outside Brazil. Cambucá is an almost unknown fruit in the United States. ~Cambucá~ Visit my eBay Store:Polynesian Produce Stand Fruit Trees | palm seedlings | palm seed | Heliconia | Alocasia | Taro All good things take time, so I grow my plants and rare palms in my ebay store.

Cash payment can not be sent through the mail. Message me if you want to send cash. Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are NOT eligible for any discount. We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be shipped the following week and NOT eligible for any combined discount. Non-paying bidders will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay. COMBINED SHIPPING POLICY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGis not included in this offer. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case basis. We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same PayPal payment. This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY. We ship on Tuesdays. Payment must be received within 4 days of the auction ending. Combined Discounts Won Auctions For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 8+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional items) My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount much as each different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires us to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. This requirement takes my wife and I, 2-3 days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand. Before you purchase After you Receive your Items. LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE. There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die. LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever. US orders ONLY are GUARANTEED LIVE ARRIVAL. All International orders are shipped at the BUYER's RISK! When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help. Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating. Be careful if you decide to re-pot. Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants). Proper care is critical upon arrival. Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to you. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes. BROWN THUMB WARNING: Please Do NOT email me after a week after receiving and repotting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. All photo support must be as arrived in original condition when received (in the box and packed as delivered). If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. You should use good gardening skills and repot if desired but at buyer's risk and expense. If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant. NO REPLACEMENT or REFUND WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door.
