Duguetia marcgraviana "Gigante Do Pará"

Duguetia marcgraviana "Gigante do Pará" is an extraordinary selection of this rare Annonaceae species, originating from the deep forests of São Félix do Xingu, Pará, Brazil.

The medium to large-sized tree thrives in the humid Amazon rainforest, flourishing in nutrient-rich, well-drained soils, where it plays a crucial role in supporting biodiversity.
