The Wolf of the Atlantic Forest
Welcome to Santo Adolfo and our Agro Restoration Project in partnership with Emater Rio.
Heart of Palms Euterpe edulis 'Palmito Jussara',
The planting of Euterpe edulis 'Palmito Jussara', was the first forest restorationproject at Santo Adolfo in collaboration with Piaui from Emater Rio
Referred to as " The Wolf of the Atlantic Forest " this beautiful and elegant palm tree is a native of the Atlantic forest . It is related to the Açai palm which we planted amidst the Musa SP 'Banana Prata' in the Bananeiral.
It is illegal to cut the wild Jussara, sadly there is a large scale clandestine trade as the " Palmito " is a national and international delicacy and highly profitable.
We planted 750 saplings of " Palmito " on the borders of the 3 Brooks and the area behind the natural water pool towards the corral.
This was the first forest restorationproject at Santo Adolfo and a great success.
