the large black spines on the trunk that are lost as the plant ages.
These also present on the petioles and rachis.
Fruit are edible, round, and yellow to orange when

There are variations (ecotypes) within the type in the
height, size, quantities of spines, leaves and forms of
the trunk.

===Culture:===
The seeds take about a year to germinate and the plants are
fast growers if given enough water.
Is the most cold resistent of all ''Acrocomias'', tolerating
frost without damage.
