Acai Berry: Grow Your Own?

One of the ways many people go about getting cheap fruit and vegetables is to grow their own. In these uncertain and turbulent times of the credit crunch, this self-sufficiency is especially appealing.

Acai berry is a popular fruit at the moment. Combining these two thoughts, some people might wonder if they could grow their very own acai berry bush. What better way to quickly, easily, and cheaply get the many bonuses of the acai berry than by going out in one's own back yard and picking the berries?

Holy acai berry, Batman! What a great plan. Well, unfortunately, it's not that simple. But then what in life is?

First, the acai berry grows on a tree that is similar to a palm tree. This, for those who don't know what a palm tree looks like, is pretty huge. The trees also only produce a small number of acai berries at a time, making it somewhat impractical to just plant one in the back yard.

To really get all the acai berries you'd need for a constant supply of juice and puree, you'd have to plant a number of trees.

Surprisingly, though, none of these things that I have mentioned are are the major deterring factor in growing an acai berry tree; that factor is the environment. Something as simple as the weather can make or break an entire species of plant, and the acai berry trees have been found to only grow and thrive in the hot, moist atmosphere found in the Amazon rain forest in South America. Attempts to grow them elsewhere have proven futile. Only large greenhouse facilities capable of reproducing the rain forest environment seem to work.
