This palm is over by the local marina. This is the only one I have seen like this.

How rare is this and how or why does this happen.

    It is not common or normal for a Washy, I think that when it happens it is the result of a physical injury.

    It is not dead, it is just senescence.

    Not unheard of but one in many thousands if not millions.

    To add to the other double crowns. Just saw this coconut sprout yesterday at the local coconut juice shop.

    The vendor told me she once had one with 3 sprouts !

    That one is worth keeping

    I have twins from my late mother dwarf red spicata coconut. I planted them in the yard. I've never seen coconut triplets (3 embryos).
