COCONUT TREE

SO FAR IN MY LIFE  , I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED ANY DEATH OR ACCIDENT OCCURRED BY COCONUTS OR DRY LEAVES FALLING ON ANYBODY'S HEAD.

 WE CHILDREN WE WERE ALL PLAYING UNDER THOSE TREES MANY A TIME.

AND NOT ONLY THAT , IT HAS SAVED US FROM THE LIGHTENING BY GIVING ITS LIFE.

IT HAS STRONG AND LONG ROOTS AND WITH ITS HEIGHT IT WITHSTANDS ALL THE STRONG WINDS TOO. 

SO I THINK FAITH IN GOD,IF IT IS SURE AND STRONG ,YOU CAN FACE ANY PROBLEM IN LIFE.

Yields continue profitably until trees are about 50 years old.
Folklore has expanded this mythological story to explain the origin of the coconut tree: SAGE. Vishwamitra knew that Trishanku would eventually fall to earth unless held up by physical means, so he propped him up with a long pole.

The pole eventually turned into a coconut tree and Trishanku’s head became its fruit. The fibre around the coconut is Trishanku’s beard.

 When you take it off, you see his eyes peering at you.

DOES THUNDERSTORMS.LIGHTNIGS AFFEST THESE TREES TOO MUCH?because these trees are so long and high these attract lightning and the full tree got damaged . Hellooo...!!! Actually, coconut trees attract lightning. They are tall and usually filled with moisture, thus providing a good electrical conducting path for lightning.The tall variety is commonly planted for commercial purposes. With a life span of 60-80 years, it is considered a “three-generation tree” as it can support a farmer, his children, and his grandchildren. The tree is slow to mature, bearing coconuts in six to 10 years.The three holes on a coconut are germination pores where the seedlings would eventually emerge. The coconut palm is known as the "tree of life" because it is one of the most useful trees in the world.The water that is found inside the coconut is basically the endosperm. In a young coconut the endosperm is in liquid form with various nuclei. The liquid contains nutrients. As the coconut grows, the no of cells grow and they get deposited on the periphery forming the soft, tender white part which we consume.

• From 5th year onwards, apply 50 kg of FYM or compost or green manure. ...
• Apply manures and fertilizers in circular basins of 1.8 m from the base of the palm, incorporate and irrigate.
• During 2nd, 3rd and 4th year ¼, ½ and ¾ doses of the above fertilizer schedule should be adopted respectively.
•  Besides, coconut palms are very sturdy individuals.
•  It takes an extraordinarily strong wind to threaten them. 
• A gale will shake some coconuts out of the tree, but is unlikely to tug hard enough at the roots to cause any problems. 
• A storm will flatten a lot of other species before troubling the tough palm.
•  Death by falling coconut Documented instances of death by coconut include the following: In approximately 1777, King Tetui of Mangaia in the Cook Islands had a concubine who died after being struck by "a falling green nut" In 1833, four people died from falling coconuts on the island of Ceylon.
• In May 2002, the legend gained new momentum when George H. Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File, claimed that "[Falling coconuts kill 150 people worldwide each year."
• 150 people die each year from being hit on the coconut by a coconut.

On fertile soil, a tall coconut palm tree can yield up to 75 fruits per year, but more often yields less than 30.

• 

  Trees grow up to 30 m (98 ft) tall and can yield up to 75 fruits per year, though less than 30 is more typical. Plants are intolerant of cold weather and prefer copious precipitation, as well as full sunlight. Many insect pests and diseases affect the species, and are a nuisance for commercial production. ABOUT74% of the world's supply of coconuts derives from INDONESIA, PHILIPPINES AND INDIA.
