Ah. Paradise. You are in so many tropical places, Hawaii, California, and Florida. The Caribbean has so many tropical places even islands like Fiji, or French Polynesia or Vanuatu and many more. And in all of these unique, tropical places you find one special tree that we are going to talk about today…The Coconut Tree!!! It’s a wonderful tree. The known tropical fruit called the coconut is produced in this wonderful tree and then later served up as a very yummy fruit. We obviously know why the coconut is so tasty and that is because it comes from the coconut tree! The coconut tree is a palm tree that can grow up to 30ft tall! The leaves on the tree are usually green and are at the most about 4 meters long. The large brown trunk and beautiful colored leaves gives this tree is the tropical look of the beautiful places it lives and grows. People also use the coconut tree to make thinks from its trunk such as tooth paste and herbs to make spices such as cinnamon and paprika! Now its time to go coconuts! The coconut is a surprising fruit. Did you know coconuts are used in most of the food you eat? To me a coconut looks like a giant nut. On the outside it is brown and feels furry, and on the inside it is white and yummy. Well,I hope you learned a lot about the magnificent Coconut tree and remember next time you see a coconut tree look for coconuts. Taybeau6
