Cambuci fruit

Campomanesia phaea is a semi-deciduous tree with peeling bark, that grows to between 4 and 9 metres tall. It produces dark green, saucer shaped fruits around 70mm in diameter.[2]

This species has a low propagation rate, and efforts have been made to propagate it in vitro.[3]

Etymology

The name 'cambuci' comes from the Tupi-Guarani word for clay pot, because of the resemblance between the fruit and Tupi-Guarani earthenware.[4]

The cambuci fruit has an acidic, astringent flavour. It can either be eaten either raw or prepared into jellies, sherbets, or juices.[5] The fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals and is also a source of phenolic compounds.[6]
