From Roots to Fruits: Endless Possibilities of the Coconut Tree

The coconut tree stands not only as a symbol of tropical beauty but it also serves a crucial role in the agricultural landscape of the Philippines. Accounting for over 70% of the world's production, this towering icon bears a staggering yield, with a single palm capable of producing anywhere from 20 to 150 mature fruits. Beyond providing lumber for shelter or firewood, the coconut's gratifying sweetness and freshness enrich the plates and livelihoods of countless Filipinos, weaving itself into the very fabric of their daily lives.

A Yellow Variety of The Dwarf Coconut

The coconut tree is sometimes called the Tree of life. Why?

The coconut tree provides food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine and building materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of the mature seed, as well as the coconut milk extracted from it, form a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics. Coconuts are distinct from other fruits because their endospermcontains a large quantity of clear liquid, called "coconut water" or "coconut juice". Mature, ripe coconuts can be used as edible seeds, or processed for oil and plant milk from the flesh, charcoal from the hard shell, and coirfrom the fibrous husk. 

Dried coconut flesh is called copra, and the oil and milk derived from it are commonly used in cooking – frying in particular – as well as in soaps and cosmetics. Sweet coconut sap can be made into drinks or fermented into palm wine or coconut vinegar. The hard shells, fibrous husks and long pinnate leaves can be used as material to make a variety of products for furnishing and decoration. 

The Standard Coconut tree is tall and only experienced Climbers Can Harvest the Nuts or sometimes they used a long bamboo poles with sharp knives attached to it to slash the nuts at the top of the tree.  Do you see any Face in the Photo? I do!
