Ilex guayusa also called Guayusa is a tree from the same family as holly.
It is native to the Amazon rainforest and grows up to 6 meters tall in its native habitat.
It is a tree that is very complicated to cut, layering is simpler but it takes on average 6 months to see the first roots appear.
The guayusa tree leaves are persistent, thick and lightly scented. (Scent of mate leaf)
Guayusa seeds are small and yellow.
They are highly loaded with caffeine, guayusa leaves are dried and brewed like tea then consumed for its very stimulating effect.

The guayusa flowers are small and white, flowering takes place around February-March.
The fruit is spherical, red and resembles those of Ilex paraguariensis.

Ilex guayusa leaves are used as an infusion, particularly in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. After harvest, the guayusa leaves are dried, allowing the flavor and fragrance to develop

Guayusa plant 10 to 20 cm high.
Upon receipt of the plant, it must be planted in a 5 liter pot with well-draining horticultural soil.
It is important to drain the bottom of the pot well before cultivating.
Water copiously when planting and place the guayusa tree in a warm, humid and partially sunny location.

Guayusa is a plant that grows quickly in good conditions.

Plant of great rarity.
Highly energizing leaves.
Cuttings extremely complicated and long (1 success in 20 in 6 months)

Just amazing

It was a great pleasure to receive such a rare and interesting plant from your shop, the shrub was green with many stalks and a few buds, a well established plant. Keeping plant of ethnobotanical interest is one thing but spreading one of the rarest and important species available in Europe is something of great value.
Many thanks !
