" COCONUT TREES AND THEIR FRUITS "

My Dear Readers,

Today, I've posted info on Coconut tree and its fruit., an amazing tree and fruits which have nothing to wasted really. From the tip of the tree to its roots. Some of us may not know exactly in which way and how, so I am describing it here for all the you. To my knowledge, this could be the only tree that has nothing to be wasted at all, it's good to know about it, thus:

1~ The Coconut Tree gives good shadow and is very decorative in the garden, along the beaches on the seaside and in parks.
2~ The leaves are used for hut's roofs, to make brooms, can be plated for mats
3~ The heart of the tree is used in special salad and different menus.
4~ The fruits : For its water and edible cream when unripe, for oil, coconut milk, and as condiment in many kinds of food.
5~ The outer part called the husk: to make brush, fiber for mattress and ropes, the shell for decorative art work and is used as charcoal too.
6~ The Trunk: is cut into big pieces to make folkloric musical drums, seats and decorative flower pots also.
7~ The roots are used as a medicinal infusion too.

So, these are the 7 uses of the coconut tree and its fruits, nothing therefore is wasted. Moreover, there is a myth about the coconut fruit itself, and I have really found it true. It is said that the dry coconut have 2 eyes, (a photo as proof) when observing it well, so the coconuts, even dry ones never falls on a person, it does either ahead of the person or behind or at the side but never on a person. I have myself witnessed this several times so far, having coconut trees in my garden. Hope all of these info have pleased you, giving you good ideas about Coconuts, the trees and their uses.

Ha!!, I've included a special photo of a single coconut, having an odd shape and outlook, so please, look at it well and you'll surely understand, its name refers to its shape and it is named accordingly, Coco ......!!, It is found in the Seychelles Islands.
Thanks for reading. Hope you have enjoyed it.
Lisa.

Hi Lisa: Interesting blog and love all the pics. I can't stand the taste of coconut myself but I can think of another use for it. Every day I put a dime sized dab of Coconut Milk (it's a clear liquid sold in hair products section) in my hair and it really makes it shine.

Looklook,

Thanks for passing by this time leaving your comments which I do appreciate of course. Am glad that the coconut trees on my recent blog, resemble somewhat to yours at the back of your house, great. But the two trees are not both tall, the yellow coconut tree is a dwarf tree and not as tall as the green one. And the quality of the two types of coconuts are really different too. The green one is stronger in resistance and the green coconuts are bigger types than the yellow ones.
I had the two types in my garden but I got rid of the yellow type cause they were taking much space, I had preserved the green types which are much better of course, they are taller and more resistant and their fruits stay a very long time fresh, whereas the yellow ones get dry quicker. I hope both of yours are the green type too.
Thanks again for your nice comments. Hope reading from you again, on the continuation of this series of fruits on my blogs.
Wishing you well and all the best.
Lisa.
