It is very popular in the Peruvian Amazon, where it is usually consumed as a sweet drink called aguajina, which is very rich and tasty.The fruit has very high carotene and oil content. The raw fruit tastes likes olives IMO, it is not sweet...The palm is probably the most impressive palm I have seen..
It’s really a great thing and the palms are very impressive. The thing is that I have it planted next to a talipot Palm so it’s barely noticeable in that context. Poor thing😢.Peter
I REALLY like your idea of the drive lined with aguaje, way, way better than roystonia. But imagine the entrance lined with talipots!

These palms can grow right inside puddles of water. Good to plant in areas that get flooded easily.
