My name is the coconut tree. It is a tree of the palm family and one of the most important crops in the tropics.
My tree trunk is slender, sloping, and ring-marked, up to meters high; the top of the tree has huge feathery leaves, forming a beautiful crown. When people see me they automatically think of the tropics and the beach.
My fruit can still float on water because it has three layers of skin. The exocarp is impermeable to water like fur; the mesocarp is loose and rich in fiber, which helps it float in the water; the endocarp is very hard and can prevent seawater erosion, and the seeds are hidden in the innermost part. Therefore, I can travel long distances on the sea and wait until the water washes me ashore, then I can make my home at that center of gravity.
Do you know? My whole body is full of treasures. My skin can be processed into carpets and ropes, and my shell can be made into various crafts. When my coconut meat is young, it is sweet and smooth, and you will have endless aftertaste after eating it. When my coconut meat is old, you can squeeze it into coconut milk. If you have a cup of natural coconut milk every day, it will not only taste delicious, improve your intelligence and brain, but also play a role in beautifying your body and prolonging your life. Coconut milk can also be processed into different flavors of coconut sugar and snacks. Have you heard of "Coconut Brand Coconut Juice"? It is made from coconut milk. My roots can be used to make medicine, the leaves are also useful and can be woven into mats, and the branches can be used to make furniture and build houses.
After I plant it, I generally don’t need special cultivation. As long as there is soil, I can grow.
