Our
CV coconut palms have recovered from severe cutting a few years ago.
There is a fine crop of nuts growing around the perimeter road.
But I do not think we can enjoy them this year, they used to be
barely within reach, now the palms are 10-15' taller. <sigh>

DO NOT EAT THE COCONUTS NOR DRINK THE COCONUT WATER
Hi all,
Our Coconut palms have been treated with pesticide to combat spiraling whitefly. The EPA labeling is unambiguous and is presented as follows:
I have attached the label for Mallet T&O for reference. On page 12 of the label it has the following statement:
“DO NOT harvest or consume fruits or nuts from trees that have been treated within 1 year of application.”
Coconut water is consumed in many areas where coconut palms grow. In Bahamian cuisine coconut water may be drunk by itself, or blended with condensed milk and gin to make a drink known as "Gully Wash" or "Sky Juice".
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteActually, the seed or fruit of the Coconut Palm, is not a nut at all.
It is rather a drupe; I leave to you the task of research and verification.
