Coconuts typically take about 6 to 10 months to mature after the flowers are pollinated. If you're growing a coconut from seed, it can take 5 to 7 years before the tree starts producing fruit. However, the exact time can vary based on factors such as climate, soil quality, and care provided to the plant. Regular maintenance and optimal growing conditions can help accelerate the process.
"The time from fruit set to full maturity is about 12 months. The fruit should be harvested fully ripe for copra and dehydrated coconut. Drinking nuts should be picked earlier, at about seven months."
No, a coconut is not a living organism. It is a seed of the coconut palm tree and is considered a fruit. The coconut itself does not have the characteristics of a living organism such as the ability to grow, reproduce, or respond to stimuli.
The coconut is known for traveling long distances by floating across oceans. The coconut seed is buoyant and can survive for up to 120 days at sea, allowing it to be dispersed to far-flung locations.
A peach tree typically produces fruit for about 10 to 20 years, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
Pepper plants typically produce fruit for about 3 to 5 months, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
Pepper plants typically produce fruit for about 3 to 5 months, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
A can of cream of coconut that is not opened can stay fresh for up to 18 months. It should be placed in the pantry.
The jury is out on whether the coconut is a fruit, nut or seed. A Botanist considers the coconut one-seeded drupe (aka: dry drupe.) A drupe is a fruit with a hard stony covering enclosing the seed (much like a peach or olive.) 'Drupa means 'overripe olive. The coconut and all drupes have three layers: exocarp (outer layer); the mesocarp (fleshy middle layer) and the endocarp (hard, woody layer that surrounds the seed.) The definition given as coconut can be all three: a fruit, a nut or a seed. Until proven otherwise the coconut comes under: fruit; nut and seed.
It will take you 7 to 10 years to have a tree that is producing fruit if growing a cherry tree from seed.

Sea water does not kill the round seed inside the air-filled, fibrous husk. Coconut seeds are able to immediately germinate, they require no dormancy or treatment to cold or cracking to sprout. Wherever the coconut rests, the milky water inside the seed provides ample moisture to sustain the seedling as it sprouts, even in seasonally dry beach sands. the coconut palm has no problem tolerating oppressive humidity and summer heat. The flexible trunk coupled with the flexible, large fronds with slender leaflets make it extremely wind-resistant. The trunk is sturdy but flexible, supported by many long roots that will keep a coconut palm alive after tipping over or leaning. The coconut grows in coastal areas. Its fruit has a fibrous layer which helps it to float on water and get dispersed to far off places. The fruit is well protected by the hard covering. Coconut trees adapt to the rainforest by growing tall to get taller than the canopy. A canopy is a bunch of trees that block rain and sunlight from plants on the floor. The coconut tree grows higher than the canopy so it can get rain and sunlight. That is how coconut trees adapt to the rainforest
