From my understanding and experience-the Dwarf variety which I think is native to South East Asia requires lots of water, I wonder if you plan to irrigate them because if you don't, its unlikely that they will grow well. The second thing is-the holes are too small i think-both in depth and the width-first you need deeper holes to support the trees when they grow up so that they are able to stand while holding the crop load intact or else the trees might fell from their own weight when loosely attached to the ground, secondly-the holes needs to be wide enough to hold water from either irrigation or rains(basin like holes). Otherwise, good job and best of luck....says a brother from East Africa(another part of Africa where coconuts are very popular)
@hassanmakame thank you for your suggestion and contribution. I appreciate it. Firstly, Ghana enjoys a 4-5month rainy season each year so the planting of the coconut is timed to meet the rainy season thereby ensuring their survival and growth. Also the holes don’t need to be wide to hold water as you suggest because it is the roots that tap water from the ground. For fertile soil the holes can be 30cmx30cm, however for marginal soil I’ll agree that the holes have to be 60cm-90cm sq.
That is not how coconut is planted..the husk is not supposed to be fully buried in the soil..half of the husk is covered leaving half to avoid termites and insects from infesting on it..
Useful information. Thank you!
The soil looks beautiful
Yes it is
Thank you for the information shared. Very thoughtful
You are always welcome

Very educative thanks for sharing.
Thanks for supporting
Boss, you are blessed 🙏
Thank you. I appreciate
Beautiful Farm
Yes, thanks
@@afuomtv most welcome
BUT I HEARD THAT EACH COCONUT TREE PRODUCES ABOUT 70 TO 100 FRUITS PER YEAR AND NOT 15 TO 30 FRUITS AS YOU SAID IN THE VIDEO.
@davidjohnson-xo9lv I said 15-30 per harvest and there are about 4-6 harvest times per year
What chemical do you use for the solution
I said something about this when I visited Ghana. Asia is making money from coconuts.
Hi am interested in the coconut plant. How can i get involving

How long it takes before a coconut tree start to produce?
It depends on the species. Usually 4-5years
How much per seedling

😂😂😂…please don’t come here and comment with such bold ignorance again…bye
He's right, coconut but be half buried to avoid termites from eating it,by so doing,it grows fast@@afuomtv
