GUAQUICA, Myrciaria guaquiea, is one of the rarest of all fruits from the Atlantic Rain Forest. Until a few years ago the Guaquica was known only for old references, not even a picture of this species existed. It was mentioned as growing in the seashore of Rio de Janeiro state, in an area with big real state pressure and speculation, so the danger of extinction was really big. Initially we located only one tree, and over the last years I was able to locate a very few more. The fruit is not only extremely rare, it is also delicious, sweet and fresh, with a complex flavor not plain at all.
VERY FEW SEEDS AVAILABLE, FOR SALE ONLY. Well I will be willing to trade for extremely rare stuff you will offer me privately.

Carlos , is that what you also call the Giant Cabelluda in Brazil ?

FlyingFoxFruits · « **Reply #2 on:** October 05, 2013, 04:42:41 PM »

Luc,

i don't think the fruit is giant..it's more like M strigipes or m glazioviana.

Hi Carlos,

I sent you a note the same day you posted (Oct 4) & I have not seen a reply yet. However, my aol account seems to be acting up -- I cannot access it from my laptop today, only from my phone but I do not see a message there.

Sorry he can't help you. Carlos is now in custody of secret Chinese police for having told an "untruth". Just kidding!

Really you got to jump on these offerings more pronto. I got some, but doubt there's any more.

Midnight express to Taipei, for the seeds that is.
Mine popped up very quickly and in less than 2 weeks some were leafy.

Like i just posted on another thread that Adam brought up about starting a nursery: CA is one of the terrible 4, meaning one of 4 states(CA.,AZ.,TX.,LA.) where it's very difficult to send plants. So, sorry no.

Gee I gotta move to Brazil or something!

Yes, but they're still tiny. In a few months can send some to FL.

Whadda bout' scion-wood when they are larger Oscar? I've got some M. jaboticaba rootstock that I need to graft before it gets too big.

Scion wood is ok, as are air layers, because they are not in contact with soil. The terrible 4 are worried about soil nematodes.

AnnonAddict · « **Reply #24 on:** December 21, 2013, 12:38:46 AM »

Is it air layer- able?
