Fiji: an amazing disappearing dwarf coconut tree with breast-shaped fruits!


In 2012 and 2017, we carried out surveys to locate the most beautiful and original varieties of coconut trees from Fiji. Here is a particular coconut tree that we have only encountered once. This variety is at high risk of disappearing. This is why we advise you to go see the owner and ask him for seeds to replant. I think hundreds of gardeners would like to have this fun kind of coconut trees in their gardens. Additionally, the fruits could be used for crafting. We give the exact coordinates of this coconut tree on our website.

It is located in Viti Levu, Korotogo, near Maevu Creek, along Queens Road (-18°10’49.624000” 177°33’49.749999”).
