A Rare and Exotic Rainforest Treasure

Native to the lowland rainforests of Venezuela, Colombia, Suriname, and neighboring Brazil, the Yara Yara (Duguetia lepidota) is a truly unique tropical plant. A relative of the cherimoya, this exotic fruit tree reaches heights of 10 to 20 meters, boasting a trunk diameter of up to 70 cm. Known for its spectacular globular fruits, the tree’s intensely pink fruit skin is protected by striking dark red scales, creating a visually captivating appearance.

A Delight for the Taste Buds

The Yara Yara fruit offers a sweet and intriguing blend of flavors. The flesh is vibrant, ranging from yellow to red, with a deliciously sweet taste often compared to apricots and jackfruit. This exotic fruit is not only a feast for the eyes but also a memorable experience for those lucky enough to taste it. The fruit's combination of colors and flavors makes it a unique addition to any tropical fruit garden.

Cultivation and Care

While still relatively rare in cultivation, the Yara Yara fruit plant is gaining attention for its potential. Once planted, it takes around 3 to 4 years to start producing fruit, making it an excellent choice for patient plant lovers who appreciate unique tropical plants. As with many exotic fruit trees, moderate maintenance is required to help the plant thrive.

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun for maximum fruit production
