Description from Harri Lorenzi’s book Fruits of Brazil:

“Shrub 1-2 m (3-5 feet) tall, endemic to the savannas  (Cerrados) and the semi arid scrublands (Caatinga), in the central part of the country, covering the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Goiás on rocky soil, usually near waterways.

Cultivated by bonsai growers. Leaves very narrow and elongated, glossy on top and lighter underneath, with a reddish petiole. Flowers form in December- January (in Brazil), with reddish pedicels and sepals; petals and stamens are white. Fruits ovoid or piriform 10-15 mm, maturing in February-March (in Brazil), they change from yellow to orange to red and finally black, when fully mature. They contain 1 to 2 seeds, not attached to the pulp. The flavor is very sweet and pleasant.

Uses. The fruits are consumed out of hand and attract birds; the plant is very ornamental and appropriate for bonsai and containers.

Propagation. By seeds. It needs excellent drainage in order to flourish. Growth is slow.”

  1. I always struggle to find plants that will grow in the full sun, clay soil area behind my house, but this plant is hanging in and growing. I can’t wait til the hummingbirds start to come.

  2. It arrived intact, just in need of some care. I’m happy to have got this one, this tree means a lot to me – one of my favorite as a child in the countryside of Brazil.

  7. I have purchased now three cold hardy citrus (citrandarin, and swingle citrumelo) both are in ground, doing great, but this thomasville cintrangaquat is shriveled, looks dry, and not happy. Little concerned this one is not going to make it and do as well as the other two.
