Pflegehinweise
The açaí palm requires bright, direct sunlight and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers consistently wet soil and should be watered frequently to maintain moisture. The plant grows best in moderate to high temperatures and high humidity levels. Regular pruning is necessary to remove dead or damaged fronds and to maintain the plant's shape.Ernte
Euterpe oleracea, commonly known as the açaí palm, is typically harvested for its fruit and hearts of palm. The fruit is usually ready for harvest about 3-5 years after planting, with peak production occurring around 5-7 years. Harvesting involves climbing the tall, slender trunks to reach the fruit clusters, which are then cut down using a machete or similar tool. The best time to harvest the fruit is when it is fully ripe, indicated by a deep purple color. For hearts of palm, the inner core of the young palm shoots is harvested, which requires careful cutting to avoid damaging the tree. Harvesting should be done sustainably to ensure the tree's continued growth and productivity.Boden
