After just over two years, these açaí palms in Puerto Rico are spreading with multiple trunks. Flower buds should appear before the next rainy season.

This planting is on a family farm in Cambodia. The family has begun selling these trees as a nursery operation.
Note the canopy above the plants. The right mix of sun and shade is critical to success with this variety of açaí.
Here are some açaí palms on 2 properties in Kuala Lumpur. Our customer and his friends noted a high germination rate:
In 2008, we helped a naturopathic physician in the Malaysian Jungle get started with his acai planting. He started this operation at his home to provide health benefits to his friends and neighbors in his small town.
Now 3 years later, the palms are thriving and flowering as they would in their native Brazil.
The shady location in this garden demonstrates the low light conditions necessary to successfully grow acai palms. We look forward to posting future updates on the growth of acai in this spot in Malaysia as the community will soon have a fresh source of the fruit.
