Yesterday I planted in the ground a coconut palm (#4 for the yard), as well as an Attalea cohune.
The coconut I found floating in the lake behind my fathers home nearby, it must have fallen from his neighbors tree which overhangs the lake between the two properties. It was a little sprout in a very large nut. I had to roll up my pants and get my feet wet to collect it, but I've been through much worse to get my hands on plants. It has a nice orange hue in the midribs... one day I may present it for ID by the coconut experts over at the palm society.
The Cohune palm I got at a recent Palm Society sale here in S. Florida. I can't wait for it to become a goliath, it's only about 2' tall at the moment. I kept it potted up in it's pot for a couple of months before I picked the spot where I set it to reside from now on.
Happy growing! Go plant some trees!
