There are many coconut trees growing on my hometown of Hainan Island. There are coconut trees along the seaside, on the hillsides, and along the roads. There are also coconut trees around our school, and there are even a few in my yard.
The trunks of coconut trees point straight upward, as high as three or four stories high. The leaves are evergreen all year round, and the small leaves grow symmetrically on the petiole, like a sword. These small leaves form large leaves, which look like goose feathers. Dozens of wide and long coconut leaves hang down from the top of the tall trunk. From a distance, they look like big green velvet umbrellas, decorating our hometown. It must be extremely beautiful.
The flowers of coconut are light yellow and not eye-catching, but they are pregnant with abundant fruits. The small coconuts are like small peaches, and the big coconuts are big and round.
Coconut water is refreshing and delicious. In summer, if you are thirsty, buy one and drink it, and your whole body will feel cool immediately: coconut meat is white and tender, and can be made into candies and snacks. During the Chinese New Year, every household uses coconut meat to make dumplings. They are fried until they are yellow and crispy, making you want to eat them more and more: coconut shells can be carved into exquisite handicrafts, and foreign tourists are full of praise when they see them. . In addition, coconut leaves can be woven into fences, coconut roots can be used as medicine, coconut bark can be used as brooms, and coconut tree trunks can be sawn into pieces as bed boards, which are strong and insect-free.
The coconut tree is really full of treasures. It contributes a lot but requires very little. It does not require careful management, and it never requires any special nutrients. Coconut trees have tenacious vitality. Regardless of mountains, sand dunes, or seasides, regardless of the scorching sun, strong winds, or heavy rains, coconut trees always stand upright and grow tenaciously... Coconut trees, your selfless contribution , The strong and unyielding spirit, isn’t it the spiritual portrayal of the people in my hometown? Ah!
