We have our own coconut trees but coconut climbers are nowhere to be found. They come once every three months and that too after reminding them on a daily basis. Sad that we do not get to drink tender coconut although it is available in shops. Having our own coconuts makes me feel guilty to buy them. Tender coconut water is a refreshing drink specially in summer' The coconut meat tastes great too.

Coconut climbers are not available in our home too. They are using the coconuts once it fall down by its own.

@allknowing Yes, that is true by the time they fall it would be dry enough. Now in Kerala machines are using for plucking coconuts. I was away due to many reasons.

@Sreekala They are doing the same thing here but the trees should be straight.

Most coconuts when they fall down there is no water inside and using those for curries is not done It is a mess really They are ok for extracting oil. And by the way I am seeing you after a long time here.

Coconut water is good for health. You should find another way to drop coconut

@allknowing If the tree is not very high, then you can try a bamboo(pipe) and knnife like thing...

Coconut water is good for health. It's too costly when we buy them from the market and it looks even more costly when we have our own trees but we cannot have them.

When I was a child, I dream to climb a coconut tree in the province. I realized it is better to have it without climbing it.

@allknowing I think I can't do it. I just let the other people have this skill.

Here in my country I see street vendors selling fresh young coconut meat and water whole year round. This is the advantage of living in a tropical country.

Same is the situation here but since we have our own coconut trees buying them makes me uncomfortable and in the process I never get to drink it at all (Iol)

@allknowing So true! You can't shake a coconut tree to get some young coconuts You need to hire someone to get some for you especially if it's already a very tall one.

This is a shame that you had to buy them when you have them in your trees.

I miss drinking coconut water. I always hired someone who could climb my coconut trees when I was in my home in the Philippines.

Only healthy kidneys. But one should not drink it if the kidneys are affected.

Too bad you can't enjoy it, why climbers are so hard to find?
