Amazon Rainforest Trees….Huicungo (Astrocaryum murumuru)
There are more than a billion Huicungo trees in the rainforest.They grow up to 15 metres and their fruits are edible.
Like many trees in the rainforest the Huicungo uses sharp spines on its trunk to protect it. Some birds ie the Long-billed Wood Creeper, are able to forage for insects without becoming impaled.
The hard seeds of the Huicungo are used to make black rings.
I need the information about Huicungo tree functions only and every website so far doesn’t help me
Fibre from trees can be made into hammocks. The fruits are edible. And from the seeds a butter can be made which is good for skin and hair..it can be added to shampoos and creams.
Hope this helps..try googling the Latin name for information.
