The range of the natural habitat of the coconut palm tree delineated by the red line (based on information in Werth 1933 [11]). Coconut fruit come from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), which can grow up to 30 m (100 ft) tall, with pinnate leaves 4–6 m (13–20 ft) long and pinnae 60–90 cm (2–3 ft) long.

Cocus nucifera dominate the landscape in many parts, rising up to a height of 25m, and bearing over 50 fruits on average in a year. The trees have many uses; their leaves are used to make sheds, baskets, and doormats, the husk for making coir , the shell for making ladles and spoons, and fruits used for making hair oil or for eating.
