Plant Profile

Cocos nucifera (Coconut Palm)

The well-known Cocount Palm is distinguished its enormous fruits, known as coconuts, which are edible. It is naturalized in coastal tropical areas around the world. It has large, pinnate leaves at the top of a smooth trunk. It thrives in full sun on well-drained soils. It can be used as a street tree, but with caution, as falling fruits can cause injury and damage. It is highly salt-tolerant.

Cocount Palm is greatly susceptible to lethal yellowing disease. It is highly recommended to choose resistant varieties; however, no variety is completely immune.
