Found a supplier locally for Tahitian Gold coconuts.  We have not yet discussed size or price yet.  Tried to Google information and could find nothing.  Anyone here have some info?

I can't be held responsible for anything I say or do....LOL

Aka Tahitian Red Dwarf, aka Haari Papua. It's very similar to the Red Spicata dwarf, but the inflorescences aren't spicate. The color is more vibrant and the palm trunk is more gracile than Malayan Red Dwarf. The coconuts are very small (baseball sized). Have a look at this pdf for more info.

    Haari Papua/ Rangiroa. 

    Just beautiful cocos!

    Very expensive and rare (compared to other coconuts)

    Truly a collectors palm. (As a true dwarf, they do not produce as many fruit as other true dwarf varieties. However, they are exquisite.)
