Astrocaryum chambira
About
Astrocaryum chambira, the chambira palm or chambira, is a large and spiny palm native to the Amazon rainforest in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela that is mostly known for its commercial value as a fiber crop. It can reach over 25 meters in height, and it is not uncommon for climbing trees to be planted nearby to make harvesting the fruit and leaves both easier and safer.
