The metal bands are to keep rats from climbing the trees. Rats will climb a palm tree and gnaw on the coconuts until they fall to the ground and split open so they can eat the insides. This poses a hazard to people who may be walking underneath the trees. The metal band keeps the rats' claws from sinking into the bark and hinders their ability to climb.
