Re: Picture of my Dwarf Cavendish in NY
Bobby - How did you get those coconut palms? The only time I've seen them for sale was in south FL, or on ebay. I'm trying to grow my own from supermarket bought coconuts, but I read they can take up to 9 months to germinate. After 3 months mine are still just sitting around in their pots with no signs of life. The pineapple tops I planted at the same time are now growing quite well however...

Re: Picture of my Dwarf Cavendish in NY
Joe,
All supermarket coconuts I have seen are already husked. You need the whole nut (about the size of a basketball). Those sprout pretty easily when just layed on their side in the ground or a pot. Terry |

Re: Picture of my Dwarf Cavendish in NY
Joe,
I second what Terry Said. You can't just plant a coconut from the supermarket because they never sell the fresh nut there. One of my cocos I brought back from the Florida Keys and the other, believe it or not, I found in the plant section at IKEA... they have amazing stuff sometimes.... Coconuts really like it HOT HOT HOT.... Mine have been doing well this year becuase we've been getting some really good hot weather. Bobby |

Re: Picture of my Dwarf Cavendish in NY
Thanks for the advice Terry and Bobby! A couple of weeks ago I was driving through Jamaica (NY) and saw a West Indian market with big green coconuts in a basket outside... maybe I'll pick one up next time I'm in the area!

Re: Picture of my Dwarf Cavendish in NY
hi Bobby, I live in Canada and was visiting friends in Massapequa, L.I. a few years ago and met a gentleman who lived on Harrison Ave who had nanners all over his front and back yards, any chance it was you.
