The lovely plant Coconut ( Cocus nucifera ) belongs to plant family “ Arecaceae” and being in use since 5 lac years .

In the world 95 % of the coconut are Tall varieties and only 5% are dwarf varieties that are Niu Leha, Village Dwarf ,Malayan or Nias Dwarf ..Srilankan Dwarf , Chowghat orange Dwaf ( India )

Almost all of the Tall varieties are cross –pollinator ( out breeder ) and dwarf varieties are imbreeder ( self pollinator ) except Niu Leha that is cross pollinator ..

The fruits of dwarf varieties are in different shades of color like green, orange, yellow and brown ..

The Tall coconut varieties start producing inflorescence in 4.5 to 9 years after planting ,where as dwarf coconut varieties are producing inflorescence in 2-4 years after planting ..

The coconut plant initiate flowering 1.5 to 2 years in advance before it is visible to human eyes after its emergence ..

Every month one frond( leaf ) is produced accompanying with one spadix ( flower bunch )

The crown of healthy coconut bears 20 to 35 leaves ( fronds ) and each frond measures 25 to 30 feet long ..so we give 30 feet spacing between 2 coconut plants ..

The spadix ( spear like sheath approximately 1 M long ) will split and yellowish white inflorescence will emerge ..the inflorescence bears so many rachis ( branches ) and 0-3 female flowers will be placed at the base of each rachis and the male flowers that are small will be seen at the top of rachis ..so the button like female flowers will be seen at the bottom of the inflorescence and tiny male flowers at the top of the inflorescence..
