There is a lot of info online about growing coconut from the "seed". But the instructions are usually from a store bought fruit. This coconut is as close to wild harvested as I could get... it's from the parking lot of the local Home Depot! :ha: They have a dozen or so trees planted in the parking area and they all set fruit regularly. The problem is the bunches usually get cut off before they mature, so I have been trying to time it right to collect some. One was dropped to the ground, so I thought I'd give it a try. It's small, cracked and fresh from the tree. It's only about the size of a grapefruit. Is it worth going to the trouble for this? If so, do I need to let it age a while before attempting to sprout it?
