coconut widly grows in coastal ares with content of salt. It can be seen all along west coast(kerala,karnataka,goa,maharashtra) and east Coast(TN,AP,Odessa,Bengal)..

inner peninsular areas also grow coconut like,Coimbatore,pollachi of TN. Pollachi has a special breed also.

But it does not grow in North. Have u seen any where in Delhi or UP ,a coconut tree ?

TN leads the country in coconut production,the status earlier served by Kerala.

Kerala is named after coconut tree ie., keram (in Sanskrit).THERE IS NO DISH/FOOD IN Kerala ,WHICH DOESN'T contain at least one/some part of keram,

Why are some palm trees not coconut trees?

Probably because they're not coconut palms. There are many species of trees (over 1500) generically called "palm trees," but only the coconut palm produces coconuts. The scientific name of the coconut palm is Cocos nucifera, which is essentially the Latin equivalent of "coconut bearer." Even if they are actually coconut palms, they might not bear coconuts in Arizona. Coconut palms require very warm temperatures year-round, and considerable moisture; Arizona is a bit too far north, and mostly too dry, for them to grow well.


Why are coconut trees mostly found in coastal areas?

There are several reasons coconut trees grow near the coast. The thrive on sandy soil and are tolerant of salty soil. Most trees are not tolerant of salty soil and are less likely to grow near the edge of the coast. Coconut trees need lots of sunlight and the canopy (shade) of other trees prevents this. They require moderate temperatures and typically the sea prevents coasts from getting too cold. Finally, they like lots of rainfall which common near the coast.
