The licuri palm

The licuri tree is a palm about 12 meters tall with beautiful leaves similar to those of a coconut palm, measuring about two meters of length and 30 centimeters of diameter. It is among the most common native plants in the region. Clusters of licuri fruit carry more than 1,500 fruits, and a palm can potentially grow eight clusters. These trees have 10,853 licuri fruits, on average!



The licuri palm grows principally in the state of Bahia, in the caatinga biome, including the municipalities of Capim Grosso, Serrlândia, Quixabeira, São José do Jacuípe, Várzea da Roça, Jacobina, Várzea do Poço, Senhor do Bonfim, Campo Formoso and Caldeirão Grande.
