Hi Ed,I have had trouble to grow both Campomanesia sessiliflora and Campomanesia adamantium. C. lineatifolia seems a little easier. I have never tasted one myself. But a friend in Brazil told me that his favorites are C. lineatifolia and C. laurifolia. Another guy in Brazil who has tasted 12 Campomanesia species told me that "Campomanesia lineatifolia is by far the best one. C. xanthocarpa and C. schlechtendaliana are also good". I hope this helps a little. Tomas
Ed,Is that yours blooming?Tomas
I'm a big fan of campomanesias also. Have some almost ready to taste. Hope i can beat the fruit flies to them.

Hope i can beat the fruit flies to them.I don't remember how the taste was on the Campomanesias I brought back from Brazil , I hope it is not just another Guava like taste . Have several 3 to 4 meter plants , one flowered this year , fruit aborted... .Lots of C. hirsuta , 1 meter , still in nursery bags .Gotta check the linneatifolia , they have to be somewhere around , I do remember...not the easiest to keep alive.
Did they have any seeds?Looks seedless?
Hi, I am "growing" campomanesia guazumifolia, just a week ago ... hehe, we will have to wait for it to flower and fruit (we are in the begining of the spring in argentina). Anyway, it's a very good looking ornamental tree, beautiful leaves and nice flowers. Cheers.s
I got 18 seeds of C. lineatifolia, 5 of them germinated on the trip in a wet soil (the roots were growing up), and I want to ask you something:I sowed 18, all., but of the 5 that were germinated I had no success with any! whereas the other 90% germinated okHow can it be that when passing the seeds to the pots only died the ones that were already germinating? I do not understand.
