Myrciaria Guaqueia is a collection listing associated with Myrciaria guaquiea. Kew records that species as a shrub or tree native to eastern Brazil.
The origin and growth habit above describe Myrciaria guaquiea; they do not establish the origin or traits of this named selection. Fruit size, flavour, harvest season and cultivation requirements need a verified source or direct observation.
Grower observation: One Florida grower reported first flowers at about two years and a first fruit at about two and a half years; they described that fruit as lemon-candy-like. Another grower in Cairns reported slower early growth and flowering after the plant received more sun. These are individual observations, not promises for other climates or seed lines.
