1 of 3 rare double coconut palms growing at Foster's Botanical Garden in Honolulu, HI. This very rare ultra-tropical palm is mostly grown in tropical botanical gardens. The Palm has the largest seed of any tree in the Plant Kingdom. Photo taken August 5, 2009.

Terratoonie:
The double coconut is much more teneder than Cocos nucifera.
The double coconuts take as long as 5 - 10 years to ripen.
