Scientific name:
Cocos nucifera
Where to find it:
The Coconut Palm is one of man’s most useful plants. The heavy crown of long flowing fronds and gently curved trunks lend a tropical effect to any landscape setting in which they can grow.
A beautiful street tree, Coconut Palm is also ideal as a background tree, framing tree, or as a striking freestanding specimen. Coconut Palms located along streets, walkways or near patios require pruning to remove the flowers or developing fruit so it doesn’t fall and cause injury or property damage.
