I looked at the CIDP picture thread and thought I would start one but for coconuts instead.

here are some tall ones probably Jamaican on pine island in bokeelia.  one local says they have been here since the 1960s

[Mr.SamuraiSword]

while many coconuts in florida only have half to 3 quarters of their leaves like this

here are some that have a full head in florida as well.

One of the 2 rarely photographed feral coconuts in my jungle... very shy by nature.

My replacements... 2 Jamaican Talls and a Maypan.  The Maypan is the one on the right.  All are now in the ground, and I'll post updated pictures when I'm sure they are established and healthy.

Hello there,

passing this one all the time when I am heading to work and back home - and I am looking at it everytime!

It is probably one of the best looking Cocos nucifera on this island but unfortantely hard to approach - however, here the pics:

...slowly getting closer...

...and finding some narrow path...

...no free angle,...however...

...heavily loaded - so I going to keep it mind. One day those treasures are going to fall off and I hope I can get one.

 

best regards

Lars

Coconuts are regarded by most gardeners in Darwin as a bit of a nuisance, a weed at best and really too 'common' to grow and then brag about.....lol. Me ? Well I don't mind them and I have a couple in my collection. The tall one in my front yard was one of two small palms ( the other a Washingtonia ) that existed ( barely ) on my block when I bought my house in 1987.

I read with interest the other coconut topics on Palm Talk, particularly the efforts made to grow them out of their climatic range. My experience in Darwin and the Top End is that heat and to a lesser extent water is the key to success. My house block is on a hilly ridge of poor soil ( called coffee rock ) but my mature coconuts seem to be able to handle the seasonal dry season drought without too much stress. Indeed the foreshore plantings around Darwin wouldn't see any water for 3 to 5 months but manage to survive. Of course dry season supplemental watering is preferred but not strictly necessary.

heres a few from Indian rocks beach florida approaching their northern limit on the west coast.  On the last one notice how little salt burn the coconut has in comparison to the royals, and foxtails

How tall should a 10 year old coconut palm be ?    I noticed when young, the fronds are pointing upwards like a Kentiospsis Oliviformis.

Here is my coconut seedling that sprouted around 10 months ago. Its maternal parent is in the second photo.
