A Rare Amazonian Delight

The Envira Caju is a spectacular tropical fruit tree native to the western Amazon, known for its vibrant fruit varieties and captivating aroma. As a member of the Annonaceae family, it is highly sought after by plant lovers for its striking appearance and unique flavor profile. Whether you’re a fruit enthusiast or a garden lover, the Envira Caju promises to add a touch of the exotic to any tropical garden.

Unique Fruit Varieties with Amazing Taste

Envira Caju comes in two main varieties, each celebrated for its unique features:

• Vermelha Gigante / Giant Red: This variety is considered one of the finest Amazonian fruits, with a juicy yellow pulp enclosed in red, yellow, or purple skin. The fruit has a soft texture, a rich flavor, and an intoxicating aroma that leaves a lasting impression.

• Mini Amarela / Small Yellow: This variety boasts juicy yellow pulp, though slightly astringent near the endocarp, making it a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The fruit is smaller but equally flavorful and aromatic.

Both varieties are easy to enjoy fresh from the tree, offering a tropical taste experience that fruit lovers will relish. The soft, juicy pulp with its rich sweetness is perfect for those who have yet to taste these Amazonian gems.

Cultivation and Care

The Envira Caju tree typically begins to produce fruit within 3 to 4 years of planting, making it an ideal choice for those looking to cultivate a fast-growing exotic fruit tree. While moderate maintenance is required, the rewards are worth the effort.

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun
• Soil: Well-drained soil with consistent moisture
• Watering: Regular watering, especially during dry seasons
• Fruiting Time: 3 to 4 years after planting

The tree’s vibrant, aromatic fruits are a sight to behold, making it a standout in any exotic garden or fruit plant garden. As with many exotic plants, occasional shortages may occur, so it’s recommended to inquire early about availability.
