Notes
Acai (Euterpe oleracea) is a houseplant for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is evergreen and can reach about 50 to 100 feet tall, so a tall space suits it best.
Pairs well with Avocado, Lychee, Australian tree fern, and Incense passion flower.
