	CGIAR: Research & Impact: Areas of Research: Coconut
		The coconut palm, a tropical crop, is widely distributed throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific region.
		The main economic products derived from the coconut palm are the fruits or nuts, the copra, which is the dried solid endosperm of meat of the nut, the edible oil extracted from the copra, and desiccated coconut for which the endosperm is ground before drying.
		Coconut plays an important role in sustaining fragile ecosystems in island and coastal communities and is used as a source of food, drink, fuel, animal feed and shelter.

		The nice thing about a coconut is that it has its own built in food and water supply for the first 3-4 months so you do not have to water the seedlings until then.
		When the palm is mature I won't water it anymore and I will spread the fertilizer at the same distance from the trunk as the longest frond extends from the trunk.
		Coconut palms are in the grass family and are very sensitive to harsh chemicals.

	Monoi and the Coconut Palm Tree
		Silent witnesses of long forgotten adventures and conquest, the coconut palm trees are as much part of the islands as they are part of the Polynesian myth.
		It was probably the coconut juice that quenched their thirst when no drinking water was found and the coconut's delicate meat that nourished them when there was nothing else to eat.
		Generous provider, the coconut palm tree gave them shelter from the intense sun and the abundant rains, he clothed them with its strong leaves and fibers and kept them warm with its burning wood when the skies turned colder.

	Coconut Palm
		If a coconut tree is uprooted due to strong windstorms the crown part of it then turns up and becomes vertical and new roots come at the base of this crown if proper provision of good nursery soil is made near this part.
		To improve such coconut trees, special care for at least two years, is needed, to produce in the crown the necessary number of about 36 leaves, as the rate of appearance of each new leaf, is one leaf in about one month.
		So, the phylotaxy of coconut tree is a spiral of eight leaves and so, in all, in about 36 to 40 leaves there are five distinct spirals in the crown.

	Coconut Palm Tree Tips - Palms & Cycads Forum - GardenWeb
		I am trying to grow a 10-inch coconut palm tree up North but the tips of the leaves are brown (and the tops of a couple of leaves are a little brownish in spots) and have been brown since I first got the palm about 2 months ago.
		Andy, My palm is growing and a new frond has grown too (but it has a little brown in the tip).
		This is by no means a norm - all of the Coconuts died except a couple, which still live to this day I believe.

		The first written reference to the coconut palm in East Africa is thought to be in the "Periplus of the Erythraean Sea," written about A.D.

	Virtual Palm Encyclopedia: Ecological Importance and Ethnobotany
		The coconut is broadly adapted to the tropics.
		The coconut is seldom or ever planted for its ecological roles, yet, because of the vast areas of the tropics covered by coconut plantations, the coconut does play an important part ecologically.
		With time the coconut plantation produces large quantities of residues, the old leaves and the unused coir, materials that rot slowly and are useful in reducing erosion, and in filling gullies.

		Barss notes that a coconut palm tree commonly reaches 25 meters in height, that a coconut can weigh two kilograms or more, and that a two-kilogram coconut falling 25 meters would have a velocity of 80 kilometers per hour on impact and a force of as much as 1,000 kilograms.

	Introduction: A Coconut Palm in Missouri
		This analogy was a favorite of my sensei, a man who knows little about South Pacific flora and who learned more than he wanted to know about Februarys in Missouri during his years of living there, but who knows a great deal about the bujutsu of Japan.
		These arts, he suggested, when they are transported into the alien culture of the modern world, face almost precisely the same perils as that tropical coconut transplanted so rudely into a frosty yard in Missouri.
		And most importantly, both the koryu and the coconut have been dropped into an environment that is, at best indifferent to their survival; at worst it is openly hostile.
