Growing Acai Palms at Home. - Garden Plants and Gardening Forum

I got some very pretty Acai Palms from Acai Farms. Can't wait to get some berries. Does anyone have any experience growing them? They are in my greenhouse and I have a solar water heating system. They seem to be doing well. But I could use some advice.

Has anyone else bought from this company?

Wow I have never heard of that palm before - Euterpe Oleracea - I have never heard of that company either. I used to belong to Fairchild Tropical Garden in Miami when I lived there and I was pretty good at palm recognition and identification but there is after all 1100 + kinds of palms last I heard. That seems like a lot of money for that size palm was what first came to mind when I went to the site. There is an entity called the International Palm Society, here is their website,
