Cocos nucifera aka Coconut Palm

The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family and the only living species of the genus Cocos. It is a tropical plant that can grow up to 30 meters tall and yields up to 75 fruits per year. The term "coconut" can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which is a drupe, not a nut. The name comes from the Portuguese word coco, meaning "head" or "skull," due to the three indentations on the coconut shell resembling facial features. Coconuts are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions and are a cultural icon of the tropics. They provide food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine, and building materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of the mature seed and the coconut milk extracted from it are commonly used in diets in tropical and subtropical regions. The endosperm of coconuts contains coconut water or coconut juice, which is distinct from other fruits. Coconuts can be processed for oil, plant milk, charcoal, and coir. The coconut has cultural and religious significance in certain societies, particularly in the Western Pacific Austronesian cultures and South Asian cultures. It plays a central role in Hindu rituals and forms the basis of wedding and worship rituals. Coconuts were first domesticated by the Austronesian peoples and were spread during the Neolithic via seaborne migrations. They were later spread by sailors along the coasts of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. The coconut tree prefers copious precipitation and full sunlight but is intolerant of cold weather. It is affected by many insect pests and diseases. Indonesia, the Philippines, and India produce about 75% of the world's supply of coconuts. The coconut tree is the official state tree of Kerala, India. In home conditions, the coconut palm can be grown as a short-lived foliage plant in a warm conservatory or as a houseplant. It has an elegant form and edible seeds. While it does not bloom in home conditions, it adds an exotic touch to any dwelling.
