I saw these 3 trees in Gocek, Fethiye, Turkey 2 weeks ago. The one on the left side seemed to me like a coconut. Is it really a coconut or something else? What do you think?

These palms look like Ravenea Rivularis. They grow good in warm Mediterranean climates, approximately +17ºC annual mean, few or no frosts and mild winters.

I have seen them above 41ºN (Barcelona) in the Mediterranean.

I live in Altea, Spain 38°34'N 0º03'O. USDA zone 11a. Coastal microclimate sheltered by mountains. 
The coconuts shown in my avatar are from the Canary Islands, Spain ! :)

They are Majesty Palms (Ravenea rivularis) but can be mistaken for a Coconut Palm from a distance.

Definitely Majesty palms. They love abundant water. Beautiful palms if well watered.

Maybe the SE coastal corner of Turkey can do it, near coastal Syria.

Maybe in Samandag with a proper north protection (building or wall) and near concrete, carefully planted in sand, there could be a small chance to make it grow there, since the sea is also very mild during winters. Unfortunately there is no reliable source about the climate in Samandag.

Why are all coconut trials done in property gardens in the Mediterranean climate? Have you tried different methods?
