What are the Special features of coconut palm tree?
Not considered a true tree, it has no bark or branches, but rather is one large stem, slightly larger at the bottom, topped with a growth of large leaves called fronds. When mature, a coconut palm can reach 60 feet in height and its feather shaped leaves grow 18 feet long and 4 feet wide. The spineless stalks add another 3 to 5 feet to the overall length. The roots embed themselves at least 60 inches into the soil and have a high salt tolerance.
Both male and female flowers exist on the same coconut palm, usually when the plant is between 4 to 6 years old. Sheaths, shaped much like long, thin canoes appear among the leaves, measuring between 2 and 3 feet long. Each sheath grows branchlets, which hold the flowers. The small yellow male flowers are at the ends of these mini-branches. The female flowers, also yellow but larger, grow at the base of the branchlets.
Once pollinated, the resulting coconut fruit grows in clusters, half hidden among the fronds. A coconut is classified as a drupe, a fruit that encases its seed in a hard, stone-like covering. The coconut has three layers. The exocarp is smooth and green. The mesocarp is fibrous, giving the coconut a shaggy appearance. These two layers are usually missing from the coconuts you find in the market. The third layer is the endocarp, and is the brown, bark-like covering surrounding the rich white coconut meat and sweet coconut juice. Coconuts are oval shaped and grow up to 15 inches in length and 12 inches in width.
Coconuts fall from the palm when ripe and, if conditions are right, will germinate where they land. The several layers of protection for the embryonic plant inside the coconut make it possible for the fruit to drift for several miles over open ocean and then wash ashore to germinate on a distant bit of land. The embryo is embedded in the coconut meat, or the endosperm. When it is ready to germinate, the new plant grows through a germination pore, a tiny hole at one end of the coconut.
How much does a palm tree cost?
Answer 1-
Depends actually, palm trees are sold by foot in the U.S and approximately cost varying on your species but they don't vary by that much . A good height is around 70 feet which is the one most business and local governments buy. They are quite expensive, and never fall anything less than $1500 so yes palm trees are expensive but they are easier to maintain than other trees. You never really see brand new palm trees planted, most are planted in schools or other areas and later sold.

Why are there no coconuts in palm trees in Florida?
There are. I had 3 big coconut palms in my yard and they got so many coconuts that a couple times Hispanic landscapers from Miami stopped and asked if they could have the coconuts. One guy wanted them for tropical drinks at his nieces wedding reception. The reason you don't see many is that most places hire landscapers to trim the lower fronds and seed pods that become cocnuts off. This is done for asthetics and safety. Coconuts can do damage to people or cars when they drop or fly around during a storm.
