Re: Wanted: Coconut
Well.....I think to some degree you can grow just about anything you want almost anywhere you want. I bought a sprouting coconut 3 or 4 years ago. It still resides in a fairly small pot as its growth is slowed because of where I grow it. It has reached about 7 or so feet tall and continues to grow. In addition I have another coconut(recently sprouted) also growing well as well as seven of the big box store coconuts, although I havent had these as long. The largest has grown only indoors under skylights. It is likely that eventually they will perish as a result of the climate here, but for now we enjoy them. Interestingly enough, the largest one(bought as a sprout from an online store in hawaii) seems fairly resistant to spider mites.If you want the address for the online store send me a pm. They always have them.
