This Coconut dwarf tree in my backyard is already 20 years old since I planted.
I used the leaves for broom sticks, the palm for woods, the fruits for Buko salad, and sweet candies, husks for a charcoal, and the tree if it is old can cut and use for lumber to build a house or repair.
How about you, did you experience using coco lumbers or woods from the coconut?

@vilma143 well, that is good that you have an exercise at least when you fly. Just don't fly over our house. Our dogs may go on a riot, waheehee.

@Alexandoy , Sure, I am invisible if I pass in your roof top, no one will notice me. I can't tell you when is the time to pass your roof top, I have scheduled to other countries yet to fly.

@Alexandoy, Yes, mostly I used that in full moon, riding a broom stick with Harry the Potter and some witches. But if I don't have a broomstick, I used a lana sa potot and shade my under arms(left & right), the wings were comes out in full moon, and I am ready to fly. I hope this full moon to come is not raining so that I can fly(joke sir, LOL). Good happy morning to you there, it's time for breakfast na.

No, but we have a few maple trees in our yard. Maybe some day they will provide enough lumber for a new garage.

@vilma143 We live in the far northern part of the U.S. In the southern states, they grow coconut trees.

@YrNemo, Yes, thank you, every 3 months the coconut fruit will ripe and harvest, but if you want to have a juice of the fruit you look that is not ripe, can be a salad, even in the ripe one the juice is sweet. It has 15 ft. to 20 ft. tall. When you plant a coconut tree, it takes 5 years they bear the fruits and grow tall. Waiting is too long, but just forget the time if we need coconut tree until they grow.

Yes every part of coconut tree is very useful. The coconut water also is excellent energy drink particularly for sick people.
