	== Description ==		== Description ==
	The tree has an open crown and ~~can reach~~ 3–8 m ~~in height~~. ~~Its crooked, grooved trunk may be~~ 20–30 cm in diameter, ~~with corky bark that peels naturally. The species is deciduous~~ and ~~grows slowly, making it a modest-sized choice for a warm collection where seasonal leaf loss~~ is ~~acceptable~~.<sup>[[#cite_note-2\|[2]]]</sup>		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>

	~~The flowers~~ are followed by subglobose ~~yellow~~ fruits about 35 mm across. ~~Ripe fruit has~~ juicy~~, succulent pulp with an~~ acidic-sweet ~~flavor; the common name sete capotes is also used locally for this species~~.<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 ==		== Cultivation ==
	This is a ~~subtropical to tropical~~ tree ~~associated with seasonally varied~~ South American ~~forests~~. It ~~grows~~ in full sun or dappled shade ~~and is slow-growing; provide~~ a warm site with room for a ~~small open-crowned tree~~.<sup>[[#cite_note-2\|[2]]]</sup>		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 ===		=== Soil and water ===
	The ~~species occurs in~~ forest edges, secondary formations, and gallery forests. ~~Species~~-~~specific requirements for soil texture, organic matter,~~ drainage~~, and pH remain unestablished~~; ~~these habitats do not by themselves define~~ a ~~garden~~ soil ~~recipe~~.<sup>[[#cite_note-2\|[2]]]</sup>		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 ===		=== Sun and humidity ===
	The ~~tree grows~~ in ~~sunny positions~~ and dappled shade. ~~A species-specific humidity threshold~~, ~~wind tolerance, and acclimatization protocol are not established~~.<sup>[[#cite_note-2\|[2]]]</sup>		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 ===		=== Seasonal changes ===
	The ~~species~~ is deciduous, and flowering and fruiting ~~calendars vary across its~~ broad range~~. No single harvest month applies everywhere, and a species-wide irrigation schedule for the leafless period is not established~~.<sup>[[#cite_note-2\|[2]]]</sup>		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 ==		== Propagation ==
	~~Propagate from~~ fresh seed ~~because viability is short. Sow as soon as the fruit is ripe in a lightly shaded nursery bed or individual container~~. ~~Fresh seed has a high~~ germination ~~rate and commonly sprouts~~ in 15–30 days~~. Move seedlings from a bed when they are about~~ 3–5 cm ~~tall; plants may need roughly~~ 9–10 months in containers before planting out.<sup>[[#cite_note-2\|[2]]]</sup> ~~No reliable species-wide years-to-fruit figure is established, so seedling bearing age should not be promised.~~		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, fruiting, and harvest ==
	Flowering ~~is seasonal and~~ is followed by yellow fruit~~. In the Southern Hemisphere, local observations place flowering in spring, but the timing should not be generalized across the full range~~. Gather ~~ripe~~ fruit when it has developed its yellow color~~. Individual trees~~ and ~~regional rainfall patterns can shift the~~ harvest ~~window~~.<sup>[[#cite_note-2\|[2]]]</sup>		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 ==		== Fruit and uses ==
	The fruit ~~is eaten raw. Its~~ juicy ~~pulp is~~ acidic-sweet and is ~~also used for jams~~, ~~jellies~~, ~~and compotes. The fruit is gathered from wild trees and~~ the species ~~is occasionally cultivated within its native range. The wood is hard and moderately heavy, with uses including charcoal and general carpentry~~.<sup>[[#cite_note-2\|[2]]]</sup>		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>

''Campomanesia guazumifolia'', known as sete capotes, is a deciduous South American fruit tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. The accepted name belongs to the genus ''Campomanesia'' and order Myrtales.[[#cite_note-1|[1]]] Its range spans Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and southern and eastern Brazil, with forest and regenerating forest habitats.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]][[#cite_note-3|[3]]]

== Description ==
The tree has an open crown and can reach 3–8 m in height. Its crooked, grooved trunk may be 20–30 cm in diameter, with corky bark that peels naturally. The species is deciduous and grows slowly, making it a modest-sized choice for a warm collection where seasonal leaf loss is acceptable.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

The flowers are followed by subglobose yellow fruits about 35 mm across. Ripe fruit has juicy, succulent pulp with an acidic-sweet flavor; the common name sete capotes is also used locally for this species.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

== Cultivation ==
This is a subtropical to tropical tree associated with seasonally varied South American forests. It grows in full sun or dappled shade and is slow-growing; provide a warm site with room for a small open-crowned tree.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

=== Soil and water ===
The species occurs in forest edges, secondary formations, and gallery forests. Species-specific requirements for soil texture, organic matter, drainage, and pH remain unestablished; these habitats do not by themselves define a garden soil recipe.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

=== Sun and humidity ===
The tree grows in sunny positions and dappled shade. A species-specific humidity threshold, wind tolerance, and acclimatization protocol are not established.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

=== Seasonal changes ===
The species is deciduous, and flowering and fruiting calendars vary across its broad range. No single harvest month applies everywhere, and a species-wide irrigation schedule for the leafless period is not established.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

== Propagation ==
Propagate from fresh seed because viability is short. Sow as soon as the fruit is ripe in a lightly shaded nursery bed or individual container. Fresh seed has a high germination rate and commonly sprouts in 15–30 days. Move seedlings from a bed when they are about 3–5 cm tall; plants may need roughly 9–10 months in containers before planting out.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]] No reliable species-wide years-to-fruit figure is established, so seedling bearing age should not be promised.

== Flowering, fruiting, and harvest ==
Flowering is seasonal and is followed by yellow fruit. In the Southern Hemisphere, local observations place flowering in spring, but the timing should not be generalized across the full range. Gather ripe fruit when it has developed its yellow color. Individual trees and regional rainfall patterns can shift the harvest window.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

== Fruit and uses ==
The fruit is eaten raw. Its juicy pulp is acidic-sweet and is also used for jams, jellies, and compotes. The fruit is gathered from wild trees and the species is occasionally cultivated within its native range. The wood is hard and moderately heavy, with uses including charcoal and general carpentry.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]
