I dont live in florida, but I now coconut palms definitely grow and usually thrive in all of southern florida especially the miami area. They fruit the most in the summer, but usually have fruit on them all year. The talls, as mentioned, are dieing of disease and the more resistant varieties happen to be shorter. I think the dwarf malayan coconut palms are most commonly planted in miami, but Im not 100% positive about that.

Good luck!
