Yellow Guaburiti (Plinia rivularis) Live Plant

Plinia rivularis, commonly known as Guaburiti, is a rare evergreen fruit tree native to the rainforests of South America. Closely related to the famous Jaboticaba, this species is highly valued for its delicious fruit, attractive appearance, and appeal to collectors of rare tropical fruit plants.

Guaburiti can reach heights of 6–11 meters, forming a dense and bushy canopy of glossy evergreen foliage. One of the tree's most appealing features is its fruiting habit. The small berries, typically measuring 1.5-2 cm in diameter, develop directly on the branches, creating an eye-catching display when the tree is in bloom. As the fruits mature, they undergo a striking color transformation, beginning as yellow, progressing through orange, and eventually turning deep red to purple when fully ripe

The fruits are highly regarded for their sweet, juicy, and intensely aromatic pulp. Their flavor is often described as a delightful combination of Jaboticaba, peach, and mixed berries, creating a rich and refreshing tropical taste. This unique flavor profile makes the fruits especially popular among rare fruit enthusiasts.

Guaburiti fruits are excellent for fresh consumption and can also be used in a variety of culinary preparations, including juices, jams, desserts, ice creams, and specialty beverages. Their pleasant aroma and balanced sweetness make them versatile for both home use and gourmet applications.
