The Coconut Palm

The coconut palm or “Cocos nucifera”. It is grown around the world in lowland tropical and subtropical habitats. From the species come many natural products, including foods, drinks, fibers, building materials, and chemicals. This species can grow where annual precipitation is fairly low, and it grows well near salt water, where salt spray kills many other plants.

The plant is a feather palm, which means that its leaves are compound, like a feather. These leaves are frequently used in thatching. The long trunk of the tree, which is not formed in the same manner as that of a dicotyledonous, is used for building supports and the stem can be tapped near the top of the plant to yield sugar which can be fermented into an alcoholic beverage. Moreover, the shoot tip can be eaten, although this kills the plant.
