Thanks for the update! It still looks beautiful! And I love the nice trunk that it's getting. Perfect example of a beautiful coconut palm growing in a container!
Thanks again for sharing!

yay update! i wonder if that trunk will maintain that thickness? if so it is a amazing "bonsai" specimen!

All this talk about coconut palms is grabbing my attention. I may have to give one a try.

looks great, i had mine out for about a week in march when we had that freek warm up and out the last 6 days, may move in for a couple of nights (saying low 40s for a couple of nights) but back outby friday, looks like finally consistant 70s by the end of the week.

Very nice coco! Beautiful fronds! :) What your secret? lol

Did you have to remove the coconut shell, or did it rot away on its own?

Trust me, no secret at all. Gently let it acclimate to the sunshine in the spring (or the fronds will burn badly) and then give that baby full sun and as much water as you can (I absolutely gush mine every couple of days as it has good drainage). The coconut itself just rotted off after a few years and then I tossed it. Don't be afraid to try one...it's a blast.

It looks like a very healthy Green Malayan Dwarf. Where did you get it from and how old is it?

Ron-
In the event you still check the forum from time to time can you tell me how long ago you moved it into that pot. I am debating whether to re-pot mine into a larger one.

thanx,
Andy

That's interesting, haven't seen a multiple sprout from a coconut. I guess in the long run it would just become 3 normal plants growing very close.

Triple trunk! Who knew?!

Pure awesomeness!
