Acai, Euterpe oleracea, loves water and is easy to grow, but outside it's natural environment may be reluctant to produce fruit.
They are easy to grow in the ground here because it rains 200 inches per year. My plants and everyone else I know that grows them, have not gotten them to flower or make fruit yet, although some nurseries offer them once in a while, so someone's plants must be producing!
I have had plants for about seven years, Carol down the road from me has larger plants (she takes better care of her plants) but they are younger.
