Coconut palm ID

12 years ago

I have this one year old palm that was germinated from a coconut I purchased at the supermarket. I really want to know which type or possible types of coconut it is, what is probably it's origin, how cold hardy it is and if it is self pollinated.
I attach a photo of the coco at the age of 6 months and before it was germinated.

Hi
That would be tough to guess for your area . Even here in florida the ones for sale in fruit markets are mostly from the phillipines .lol. Even those from green markets are often from the caribbbean Since there is only one specie the various types are "cultivars". very difficult to tell as a seedling . Good luck with it gary
