This palm species makes seeds which are the source of the “Acai berry juice”. This species makes large numbers of dark purple seeds, so it’s no surprise that it is loaded with antioxidant properties and someone would market it. Euterpe edulis is a fast growing, thin trunked, pinnate palm with a long colorful crown shaft. Crown shaft color varies from green to a mahogany brown. This species is native to Brazil and northern Argentina. It is cold hardy into the mid-twenties F. It prefers to start as a younger plant in strong filtered light and work its way into the sun
