The coconut palm comes in both tall and dwarf varieties. Dwarf varieties reach maturity and begin producing nuts much faster, within four to six years; however, these trees are not as hardy and simple to grow as tall varieties, and they often have a shorter lifespan.

Dwarf Varieties. Dwarf palms, as the name implies, are small in stature. They typically do not exceed 30 feet and often top out at around 16 feet in height. They have a shorter lifespan than tall varieties, with a life expectancy of between 40 and 50 years.

The Coconut Dwarf tree is the preferred variety of the species for planting palm trees in home gardens. Dwarf palms grow up to about 5 meters and usually produce fruit after 3 to 5 years. Dwarf Coconut palms are lovely plants that produce tasty fruit.

Under favourable conditions, Tall coconut palms start flowering after planting for five years (three years for Dwarf), while the fruit fully ripens after 11-12 months. Usually, only 30-40% of the fruits are carried to full term, while most are aborted within three months of pollination.. . . . .364011235121!]0000000000000009783314146804!]
