Coconut Palms are one of the most recognisable plants of the tropics.
The nut (which is really the endocarp of a drupe, not a true nut) is used around the world in cooking, cosmetics, textiles, cleaning products and even in potting mix!
Although an easy palm to grow, for the most part, Coconut Palms are somewhat cold-sensitive. They will not tolerate frost or prolonged conditions in single-digit temperatures.

Coconut Palms are generally pest-free, but may attract mealybug, scale and aphids, especially in hot humid weather. This is generally easy to treat. Damping off or collar rot are potential issues during cold wet weather.
