@dalmatiansoap I also saw those coconuts there. There's a swimming pool next to the Palmetum that has lots of coconuts too.

Coconuts in the south. The ones in the south (BWH climate) don't seem to look as good, probably due to the lower humidity and rainfall.

I think many of the coconuts here could take a bit more watering/better soil. There are coconuts on Madeira looking much better and some that look as bad, probably for the same reasons:)

What variety is that with golden fruits on it? 

Hello everybody,

 

I have just found the topic. That plant behind the fence is our beloved Red Spicata Dwarf.  It grew with little care in a partly abandoned area, which has recently been transformed in the new section for Papua New Guinea.  I though it was due to abandonement, but it often produced misshaped nuts and some of the seeds never sprouted.  Some unripe fruits were stolen too by happy visitors, so we took a lot to make seedlings.

Now it is doing much better. It might be a hybrid too, as the inflorescence is often not a perfect spike.

Now it is taller and we made babies out of its fruits, so we can see how the next generation will go.... if the spike is a spike and if we get better shaped fruits.  Its first seedling is starting to bloom at ground level, but most are just 1-2 years old.  All seedlings show a deep orange colour except one which was paler but it then became almost the same of others.

 

You can watch a not-so-old video on youtube about this tree, by Sdravko of All the fruits:
