Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Bertholletia excelsa, Humb. & Bonpl. A tree 100-150 ft. with a smooth trunk 3-4 ft. in diam.: branches near the top.—It forms large forests on the banks of the Amazon and Rio Negro. The natives gather the nuts in large quantities, chopping the fr. open. They are exported in large quantities, chiefly from Para. An oil is expressed from the kernels, and the bark is used at Para for caulking ships. The tree is of little value for decorative purposes, and, is too tender for growth anywhere in the U.S.
