re Swedish Palm ... apparently, it can be seen only by the pure in heart
That's not a "Swedish Palm", Father Steve.
That's a "palmito". :)
Extract:
"The comercial cultivation of "palmito" palms (from which heart of palm is extracted) began in Ecuador in 1987 and since then its expansion has been constant, having become a new export crop.
-----------
Palmito cultivation is generating deforestation in extensive areas of tropical forest in several Amazonian provinces (Napo, Sucumbíos, Morona Santiago, Pastaza), as well as resulting in the disappearance of a number of forest remnants of the country's Western region."
