Coconut Palm Tree And Its Uses In Fibre Making

The coconut palm has a large base as stem which become slightly smaller in circumference as it goes up. Unlike any other tree, coconut tree has fruits covered by bunches of fruits only at the apex of its stem. The stem goes on to reach a height of 25 meters. The color of the stem is light grey which is supported well by the thick mesh structure of roots. Coconut palms produce inflorescences at angle between the base of the leaf-stalk and the trunk which bear both male and female flowers. The fruits, which grow from fertilized female flowers, take a year to develop.
