Coconut tree in my backyard

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.

@TheHorse, Yes, many times I eat the fruit and drink the juice too. If you taste the fruit once, you always wanted that more. Thank you for joining here and have a nice day to you friend.

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

Do you often have fruit from that coconut tree? How tall is it? (I like coconuts very much, but wherever I go, coconuts remain expensive to buy...)

@vilma143 OMG, who has been climbing that coconut tree of yours to get those fruits? (I heard of cases where people got whacked on the head by fallen coconut fruits!)

@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.

@marlina , Yes Ma'am, but be watchful not to stay near the tree, the fruit is not soft, the fruit is hard and if the fruit fall into your head, it's hurtful.
