 Common along the tropical coasts throughout the world is a tall, un-branched tree called the coconut palm. Although its origin is unknown but it has grown in southern Asia and the Malay islands since prehistoric times. Its fibrous trunk sprouts a tuft of leaves measuring up to six meters long and a cluster of coconuts.

The coconut palm spreads by sending out seed boats- ripened coconuts that fall from seaside palms into coastal waters and are swept along by ocean currents to new lands. The 30 centimetre long coconuts stay afloat because their spongy lands in a region with abundant sunshine, humidity, and rainfall, it will grow to a mature palm about 15 meters tall within eight years it will bear up to hundred coconuts annually.
