The Coconut Tree: Amazing

This tropical tree has lots of benefits. When you are on holidays, it’s so nice to see: it has got style, it may be very high, its leaves are long and the coconut it carries are simply beautiful. But it is more than just beauty! It is surely one of the most beautiful and useful trees on earth. Besides, during hurricanes and typhoons, it hardly never breaks, it can spin around itself!

This tree is vital from its bottom to its top! The trunk of a dead coconut tree can be used as a component of the ground. Your plants will grow better then: cut it into small pieces and melt those pieces with the ground.

Besides you can keep a coconut for a long time. You’re not limited by a date of consumption.

Did you know that you can take an old coconut even when it has begun to grow? You can use it as a vegetable for your starters; you can cook it as well in your meals. Open the coconut, take the green inside. It is as simple as that.

The called ‘green’ coconut has more water inside. Most of the time, its keeps hanging on the tree, where as the dry one falls down once it is older and browner. The green coconut is more interesting if you want to get more juice; it has a less thick nut as well. Generally this nut has a sweeter taste than the old nut. The green coconut is certainly harder to open but it’s worth to be opened. Its nut can be so tasty that you can use it in your dessert: in a fruit salad, melt with other fruits.

And coconut’s starch has the reputation to be good for the health despite its saturated fats. Because these saturated fats don’t stay in the fatty cells but are quickly burnt by the leaver and the muscles. Take a look at a research website about ‘medium triglycerides chains’ for more information.

Its green leaves can be used for ornament for weddings, parties…Take some coconut green leaves. Cut in the middle of the leaf so as to get leaves on each side, like a curtain. Hang it high so that leaves can move; your parties will look then very tropical!

You can decorate a table with green leaves as well. Cut the leaf in two; hang one part at each side of the table along each edge. On the table itself you can lay leaves in different ways.

Dead coconut leaves are also good to light a fire. You can use some to make a fire burn. Once it burns, put the coal.

Some small coconuts fall from the tree, they are lovely! You can use them for ornament as well. If you manage to take the part situated at the bottom of the coconut- it looks like a flower-you can paint it. This is an unusual and interesting hobby for children. This part is easier to take off when the coconut is old.

If you live in a tropical country where coconut trees grow, it’s really interesting to plant coco trees in your garden. They do take time to be high, five years at least; but once you have them, you’ll like them.
