"Açaí palm The açaí palm (, ""asaí""), ""Euterpe oleracea,"" is a species of palm tree (Arecaceae) cultivated for its fruit (açaí berries or simply açaí), hearts of palm (a vegetable), leaves and trunk wood. Global demand for the fruit expanded rapidly in the 21st century and so the tree is cultivated for that purpose primarily. ""Euterpe oleracea"" is mostly native to Brazil, Trinidad and other countries of northern South America, mainly in swamps and floodplains. Açaí palms are tall, slender trees growing to more than tall, with pinnate leaves up to long. The fruit is small, round, and black-purple in"
"An area of woodland composed primarily of trees established by planting or artificial seeding is known as a plantation. Trees are the source of many of the world's best known fleshy fruits. Apples, pears, plums, cherries and citrus are all grown commercially in temperate climates and a wide range of edible fruits are found in the tropics. Other commercially important fruit include dates, figs and olives. Palm oil is obtained from the fruits of the oil palm (""Elaeis guineensis""). The fruits of the cocoa tree (""Theobroma cacao"") are used to make cocoa and chocolate and the berries of coffee trees,"

The palm fruit is reddish, about the size of a large plum, and grows in large bunches. Each fruit is made up of an oily, fleshy outer layer (the pericarp), with a single seed (the palm kernel), also rich in oil. The two species, ""E. guineensis"" and ""E. oleifera"" can produce fertile hybrids. The genome of ""E. guineensis"" has been sequenced, which has important implications for breeding improved strains of the crop plants. Since palm oil contains more saturated fats"

Moriche palm fruit is edible and used to make juice, jam, ice cream, a fermented ""wine"", desserts and snacks, requiring harvesting of more than 50 tonnes per day in Peru. The inflorescence buds are eaten as a vegetable and the sap can be drunk fresh or fermented (see palm wine). Threads and cords are locally produced from the tree's fibers.

They often colonize in large, conspicuous groves, on steep slopes, receiving generous rain fall, and growing in acidic, noncalcerous soil. Their growing conditions are usually hard to mimic, making them relatively uncommon in cultivation. They require a frost-free climate,"
