Coconut
Cocos nucifera
Coconut palms thrive in full sun with warm, humid tropical conditions and require consistently moist, well-drained sandy soil. They need protection from frost and cold winds, as they are cold-sensitive and grow best in USDA zones 10–12. Regular fertilization with a palm-specific fertilizer supports healthy frond development and fruit production.
