By "biodegeradable fiber" they don't mean coconut fiber, ay?

Who knows!!! Why not just send the nuts and wait for them to sprout - the climate is right - or what is the problem with that island sprouting it's own coconuts as they grow them there???? LALA!!! I smell paybacks somewhere!

Cassie, I think the interesting part about the article was that it is possible (by using their patent technique) to send plants of any maturity without soil even where restrictions don't allow to bring in plants with soil etc... :08:
But I agree. This smells like a bribe. They would literally only have to lay down some coconuts and in several years palms would stand on those places.

That is whack. Coconut palms are native to that area! Maybe it's a certain kind.
