Edible Fruit and Palm Nuts
This is the genuine Açaí palm, a
very tropical palm from Brazil. The species Euterpe oleracea, called Açaí Palm is
famous for its anti-oxidant qualities of the fruit juice and as a host of many health
benefits - from weight loss, to increased energy and lower cholesterol.
This magical palm
is very ornamental, with multiple branches. The Açaí palm is a fast grower with multiple
clumping stems. It has pinnate leaves that start from a prominent crownshaft that is
reddish color. It has adapted to live in periodically waterlogged and flooded soils by
developing special root structures called pneumatophores. The Açaí palm will take full
sun as it matures, it also likes high humidity.
The
round dark purple fruits are largely used worldwide for juices, energetic food, smoothies,
ice cream, etc. Açaí stems can be used as pillars for small houses, and the leaves can
be used to cover the roof. The heart of this palm is also the primary species used
for canned palm hearts. It's pretty fast growing so it can replace the cut canes in a few
years. Açaí palms, since it clusters, can go on living to be harvested later. The juice
is extracted from the small round fruit which is purple in color. The seeds are soaked in
water to soften the thin outer shell. The seeds are then squeezed and strained to produce
a dense purple liquid of incomparable flavor. This liquid is served ice cold with sugar
and tapioca flour. |

The juice and pulp of açaí fruits (Euterpe
oleracea) are frequently used in various juice blends, smoothies, sodas, and other
beverages. In northern Brazil, açaí (or jussara, which is one of the fruit's common folk
names) is traditionally served in gourds called "cuias" with tapioca and,
depending on the local preference, can be consumed either salty or sweet. Açaí has
become popular in southern Brazil where it is consumed cold as "açaí in the
bowl", mostly mixed with granola - a fad where açai is considered as an energizer.
Açaí is also widely consumed in Brazil as an ice cream flavor or juice.
It's cultivated in humid regions, specially along with rainforests. It needs high
temperatures, rich organic soil, and high moisture. Açaí palms will grow better with
some shade and slow wind. Açaí palms live in seasonally flooded habitats and along water
margins. Excellent landscaping palm if given a lot of water, Açaí thrives in Brazilian
swamps. High in its needs for heat and water, Açaí palms tend to yellow and grow slowly
with insufficent water. It flowers throughout the year and the harvesting season is
usually from July to December. It produces both female and male flowers which are quite
small and are brown to purple in color.

As açaí deteriorates rapidly after harvest, its
raw material is generally only available outside the immediate growing region as juice or
fruit pulp that has been frozen, dried, or freeze-dried. However, several companies now
manufacture juices, health drinks, yogurts, and sorberts made from açaí berries, often
in combination with other fruits.
The Açaí fruit, a small, round, black-purple drupe
about 1/4 inch (710 mm) in diameter, similar in appearance and size to a small grape
but with less pulp, is produced in branched inflorescence of 700 to 900 fruits. Two crops
of fruit are produced each year. The fruit has a single large seed about 710 mm in
diameter. The skin of the ripe fruits is a deep purple color, or green, depending on the
kind of açaí and its maturity.

The Açaí
berries are harvested as food. In a study of three traditional Caboclo populations in the
Amazon region of Brazil, açaí palm was described as the most important plant species
because the fruit makes up such a major component of diet (up to 42% of the total food
intake by weight) and is economically valuable in the region (Murrieta et al., 1999).

Payment
We accept online
payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only
acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery
(COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING
RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are
NOT eligible for any discount.
We will ship once a
week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special
stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This
can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If
payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be
shipped the following week and lose the combined discount
opportunity. Non-paying bidders may receive negative
feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON
LIVE PLANTS on a case by case basis.
We will combine shipping
for auctions won on the same week paid with same PayPal
payment.
This policy is good
for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending
MONDAY.
We ship on Tuesdays.
Payment must be
received within 4 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 4-7 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 7+ winning
auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
As
each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay
the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the
same species in that item it does calculate out the discount
(i.e.: additional items)
My stores' combined
shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied
selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification
and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for
prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you
want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount
much as each different species requires it's own prep,
packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected
then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every
last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on
the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3
days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day
we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours),
then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes
the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
Live Plants are
NOT GUARANTEED
to survive under your care. There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die.
LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever.
DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care!
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. Please have potting media and a container prepared for
your plant before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further, which is not good. Proper care is
critical upon arrival. It is your responsibility to know how to care for the plant.
IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT it to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind
of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to you.
Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All
photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered).
If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
|
What is
GUARANTEED
is
LIVE ARRIVAL.
From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery confirmation to make any claim.
All claims need to be supported with Photos of the damaged plant(s) as
packed/unpacked, the box if damaged, the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and understanding,
anything can happen to small plants in transit, for this reason uninsurable.
The expense to send it to you is most of your payment. To send any replacements, I
try to piggy back with your next order.
Replacement is not an option for CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S. - USDA and USPS fees
are included in the actual cost of shipping and Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any
reason really because I will block you from any further purchases.
Please contact me before eBay if you have any issue. I am the one
who can help you. Do not open any case for any reason really because I will block you from any further purchases.
I ship items the best and least expensive option. These are coming from Hawaii.
The only thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items promptly via best method. If you feel
like the combined shipping fee is wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me! I value your business and
will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Rare Seeds
Fresh Highest
Quality
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity
advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or
damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's
expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All
other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be
made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related
grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type
of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed
controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and
reasonable weather conditions during the growing period.
Germination is affected by such factors as temperature,
moisture content, light intensity and contamination of
planting media. These factors are totally out of the
seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally
guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions
or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
