Palmae) Euterpe oleracea Mart. [(syn: Euterpe badiocarpa Barb. Rodr. (GRIN)] 2. A tall, slow-growing, slender palm tree that reaches a height of 15 to 25 meters (49 to 82 feet). The tree suckers at the base, resulting in large clusters of trunks (25 or more per tree). Trunks are 7 to 20 centimeters (3 to 8 inches) in diameter. Aerial roots are found on trees growing in swampy areas. Açaí is indigenous to the Amazon rainforest. The crown contains 8 to 14 leaves that are long pinnate and 2 to 4 meters (7 to 13 feet) long. Leaf bases are tightly sheathing and form a crown shaft that is green, yellow, red or purple in color. Each leaf contains 50 to 62 widely spaced leaflets that are pendulous on the rachis and reach 1 meter (3 feet) in length. The inflorescence emerges from below the crown shaft, contains a central rachis and approximately 54 lateral branches and reaches 1 meter (3 feet) long. Branches are covered with light brownish-white hairs. Each branch bears clusters of two male flowers and one female flower. Terminal branches contain male flowers. Male flowers are purplish and 0.45 by 0.27 centimeters (0.2 by 0.1 inch) in size. Female flowers are purple to light brown and 0.32 by 0.26 centimeters (0.2 by 0.1 inch) in size. Both male and female flowers are unstalked. Pollination is by small bees, flies and beetles. The small, round, 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 inch) in diameter fruit is a drupe that contains a single large seed surrounded by stringy fibrous sheaths and a thin oily coating. Immature fruit are green and ripens to dark purple when mature. Some fruit are green at maturity and are known as white açaí. Four to eight bunches of fruit are produced each year per trunk. The fruit skin is smooth and shiny. The fruit pulp is creamy to oily and sweet. The flavor resembles raspberries, blackberries, or nuts with a metallic aftertaste. This fruit is a major food resource in
