Awesome, only eight months?

Keep us posted over the winter too.

Awesome, I would suggest bringing it in when you start seeing lows in the 40s.

Thanks Scaldude and AndyAndy. I'll try to find a spot for it in the house when it gets to that stage. I don't think it will grow much when the weather gets cooler. Maybe I'll post again when it makes some more progress in the warmer months next year.

You'd be surprised. If you can give it full afternoon sun indoors and keep the temps in the low 70s you will get a full frond over the winter.

Since the last time I posted about my coconut palm, it has grown a foot. It's now 6 ft from the soil level in the pot. It has pushed out 2 more fronds. There have been some cold spells and each time I had to drag it indoor. I have a spot in the south end of my backyard between the house and a storage shed where it offers a little more protection. I've been wondering if it would be safe to plant it in the ground because I'm getting quite tired of moving it in and out. Do you it will make it in my planting zone? Would like to hear of your experience and any advice that you might be able to offer. Thanks.

Where do you live? and do you see other coconuts around?

Very nice bananafan !
