    I absolutely must move there some day!..i currently grown bananas and several different palm trees in my back yard as ornamental plants. I live in Chicago so I don't often get a banana plant to fruit and if it does there's not enough warm season for them to ripen. my dream is to bring all my plant varieties down there and plant them in my new yard. hopefully in the next 5 years. it's a lot if work to keep these plants alive here in Chicago 😕 live your vids!👍

      It will fruit, bury some fish waste at the base and that will speed it up.

      I live in St. Cloud (just north east of you) and my coconut palm is 5 years old. It fruits and provided me with a lot of coconut water. So it will fruit if you take care of it. Protect from cold when young and fertilize 4x a year with palm fertilizer. I have a Maypan variety which I feel does better in colder locations than the dwarf.

    Im planning to move permanently to Tristan da Cunha in few years so im going to get several coconuts to plant there as climate is perfect and great soil.
    Any idea how long it takes from seed to actually fruit from it ? The small species you have seems great .

    sorry for the noob questions..
    Do you prune the tree to make it short/dwarf?
    If it is the tall type, can you also prune (when still young) it to become one?
    Is coco peat a good fertilizer for coconut trees?
    thanks

    • @EatYourBackyard
      @EatYourBackyard  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, It grows up no matter what. In fact, I think lots of trimming speeds up upward growth, but you want to trim enough to see the cool trunk. Now I want to get another coconut tree!

      Uh his comment didn’t help you much so I’d say get find a cold hearty imported one with the shell on then root it in a bag of water and your gonna want to grow it in a pot with well draining sandy soil. They can’t survive temperatures of under 64 for the first few years so you’ll have to make a greenhouse and heat it if you want it outside. Monitor the temperature closely. Once it’s fully established it can survive as low as 30°. But I think you’ll have to grow it in a pot year round. Pick a dwarf variety for this. Good luck it is possible and people will start doing it more and more
