''Campomanesia guazumifolia'', known as sete capotes, is an accepted species in ''Campomanesia'' (Myrtaceae, Myrtales).<sup id="cite_ref-1">[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup> It is a deciduous South American fruit tree associated with forest edges, secondary growth, and gallery forests.<sup id="cite_ref-2">[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

== Description ==
The tree has an open crown and reaches about 3–8 m. The bole is described as 20–30 cm in diameter, and growth is slow.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

Flowers are followed by yellow, subglobose fruits about 35 mm across. The pulp is juicy and acidic-sweet.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

== Cultivation ==
This is a deciduous tree of southern South American forest-edge, secondary-growth, and gallery-forest settings. It succeeds in full sun or dappled shade, so a warm site with either exposure and enough room for its open crown is a practical starting point.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

=== Soil and water ===
The documented settings are forest edges, secondary formations, and gallery forests. A habitat-based starting inference is a moisture-available site with reliable drainage; avoid treating the tree as a permanently waterlogged soil plant.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

=== Sun and humidity ===
The species account records success in full sun and dappled shade. Use either exposure in response to local heat and light, while keeping the plant warm enough to support active growth.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

=== Seasonal changes ===
The tree is deciduous and slow growing. Plan for seasonal leaf loss, and read flowering and fruiting timing locally because the species occupies a broad South American range.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

== Propagation ==
Use fresh seed and sow it promptly. The account gives germination in about 15–30 days, transplanting at 3–5 cm, and approximately 9–10 months in containers before planting out. Treat these as approximate propagation figures rather than a universal schedule.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

== Flowering, fruiting, and harvest ==
Flowering is followed by yellow fruit. Gather fruit when it has developed its yellow color; the timing of flowering and harvest will vary with locality and season.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

== Fruit and uses ==
The ripe fruit has juicy, acidic-sweet pulp and is described as edible. Its approximately 35 mm, yellow, subglobose fruits are the useful harvest feature for growers evaluating the species.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>
