The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family and the only living species of the genus Cocos. [1] The term "coconut" (or the archaic "cocoanut") [2] can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a nut.
The coconut is also a drupe, but the mesocarp is fibrous or dry (termed a husk [1]), so this type of fruit is classified as a simple dry, fibrous drupe. Unlike other drupes, the coconut seed is so large that it is unlikely to be dispersed by being swallowed by fauna , but it can float extremely long distances—across oceans.
Coquito nuts, also referred to as coker nuts, pygmy coconuts or monkey's coconut, are the fruit of a Chilean palm tree. The tree, Jubaea chilensis, takes up to fifty years to achieve maturity, and is native to the coastal valleys of Chile. This palm is grown in Mediterranean-type climates worldwide, including in the state of California. [3]
The king coconut tree is shorter than coconut trees, and is commonly found growing wild in many areas of the country.

Once the pores are visible, the coconut crab bangs its pincers on one of ...
