Abstrakt: •Number of fruits (NF) of Trichilia emeticacan exceed 22770 on a single tree•Linear models are the best predictors of seed biomass (SB; in kg) of T. emetica•Best-fit general models are: NF = 375.364 × DBH1.009and SB = 1.858 × DBH1.009•Prediction errors are large when using general models fitted at species level•Tree size category models are the most accurate in predicting NF and SB
