- Coconut palms are one of the easiest ways to make your property feel "tropical". Here's all you need to know about growing them. Enjoy & share but be sure to check out my other tropical Florida videos in the link below.
BTW- Please check out my other channel: Jupiter Inlet Boats and subscribe. It's a new channel and it takes a lot of time and effort to film the boats so I would appreciate the support.

I live in the UK so my climate would not support coconut trees but i regularly travel to the caribbean island of barbados about 3 or 4 times a year so i get to enjoy these amazing trees there and drink from the coconuts. They make the landscape so beautiful and in barbados they grow really tall and are very healthy looking because your almost on the equator and it's hot all year round being right in the tropics which is perfect for these trees.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice down to earth video for a change~!~ Thank you very much ~!~!~!~
Glad you enjoyed it. I just bought another camera because I really enjoy making these vids. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Majestic Trees! Beautiful Yard! May God give you peace in your land!
Thanks
Wow, learned a lot, theyre great in my yard, thanks so much for the details
Glad to help and thanks for watching.
I have a small coconut palm about 2 feet tall, but a few fronds are turning yellow and drying up. Is it alright to prune them?
I would leave them on such a small tree until they are really yellow, then trim. They may still be producing food.
How much water should I give my newly planted coconut palm? It's only about 3' tall from base to leaf tip. The soil is basically sand, very deep, and excessively well drained.
Sorry I missed this comment. Overwatering is the number one cause of death for potted plants. Coconuts will tolerate very dry conditions so go easy on the H20. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@RichardSites , it's in the ground, it's not potted. I've been watering it twice a week because the sandy soil drys out so fast.
..think of people in a little cooler place starting 4 footers in a large container on the sunny front porch and blasting them with kitchen lights during winter, i hope in spring they grow as miraculous as u claim in your spoiled florida yard... big help for people who love these trees and hav limited info on google
Tall, majestic coconuts always remind me of growing up in Miami. Thanks for watching.
Can you buy panama/pacific tall coconut palms?
Not sure, have to search the internet. Thanks for watching.
May I have one of the coconut trees I live in 80 west 7 street California
Too cool in the winters to grow coconuts in California
U can advance your zone by doing large plastic container on a sunny porch off the ground, closer to a door-cove is better, other exotic palms will work but these u may hav to shield inside at night if its below 50-55
Most palm or tropical fruit trees withstand cold night down past 35, but not pineapple plants, coconut palm trees, or giant african baobab trees
Thanks for watching and commenting
I always love seeing the coconut palms. I keep thinking they are fake as I'm from up north and when I come down to Florida I always have to touch them to validate they are real....unless I get conked on the head from a coconut. I love drinking the water from them too.
I have always loved tall coconut palms
what zones are they hardy to?
Probably just the zone 10.
@@RichardSites To be more precise, that's a Florida USDA hardiness zone 10 -- not a California zone 10 or even zone 11
+(cool, wet winters won't allow for long-term growth of coconut palms). I'm in the top end of Florida zone 9b and I can grow coconuts (fruiting green Malayan dwarf), albeit with frost and/or chilling damage to foliage during the winter months. I only get frost 1-2 times each winter, otherwise I'm essentially in zone 10. Fortunately, for the past 5-6 winters my wintertime lows haven't dropped below 30 degrees on the one coldest night each winter.
Thanks for the tip, I didn't know there were different Zone 10s. Check out some of the other videos of my yard on the channel. There's one on self cleaning palms you might like and a tour of the whole yard.
@@RichardSites Well, all USDA zone 10 means is that the lowest low temperature of the winter doesn't drop below 30 degrees. All zone 10 areas in Florida have far more daytime heat and higher average nighttime lows. It's just the one or two winter cold blasts we must contend with. California zone 10-11 areas (like Catalina Island, which is zone 11) can't support coconut palm growing because it's just too cool during the winter months, even though nighttime lows don't drop below 40 degrees. I will check out your videos. I'm growing many species of self-cleaning palms (Roystonea regia, R. borinquena, R. oleracea, several species of Archontophoenix, and others here in my zone 9b location. th-cam.com/video/_Dl1_3C5UFQ/w-d-xo.html
