I've done it plenty of times- here's the drill:
You should use coconuts that are about ready to fall off. if you can find a foreclosed property/etc that has coconut palms with fruit just sitting there (I can think of a few spots like this) watch the fruit- when they turn brown, go get them, or wait til they start dropping and grab them from the ground. Then clear an area in your yard and plop them all halfway into the soil and let your sprinkler water them. You are prob only going to get about 1 in 7 to germinate, so get alot of them. One you see a little sprout popping out (can take months) carefully dig that one up and pot it. -------------------------

Yep actually if you've looked recently it seems like it will finally be redone. They've filled a container already with stuff from the inside, outside. |

I thought with coconuts that you were supposed to put them in a bucket of water and see how the coconut rolled, whatever side faced up, you were to plant it in the ground with that same side facing up? Is there any factual basis to this? ------------------------- |

Anyone have any that they are not going to eat or use? I'll take as many as are available.

so found some and planted them...I have 2 sprouts so far. I wonder if this cold snap will hurt them?
Only down to 42 here on the beach, but are sprouts more susceptible to cold than mature trees? I covered them with towels...not sure it will help, but what the hell. ------------------------- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. |
