GROWING COCONUT PALMS IN CALIFORNIA 

I have many different tropical palms growing in my marginal z9b climate. Ill be doing several videos on them , make sure to SMASH the SUBSCRIBE BUTTON! Have a Great Day! Jeff- TropicalGardenGuy

Gary Gragg has a cool video on the Quito coconut that grows in California. Different species but it looks like a neat alternative.

Great video Jeff, very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Nice garden. Looks like the tropics. Opening scene looked like Hawaii.

You have a very nice variety of coconuts. I wasn’t aware you could grow them here, let alone so many varieties.

Great video, I am tired of people saying coconuts will not grow in California, I have videos on my channel of a giant coconut palm in Del Mar which has been there for almost 20 years and a gorgeous one in a front yard in Santa Ana, I hope to make more videos of SoCal coconuts soon, I know of a number of others. Yep there are lots of hardier coconut look-alikes. All your palms look fantastic and your garden is incredible, I am a huge fan, I love your channel and videos, keep up the great work!

Never knew cocunut trees exist in usa, Here in kerala ,southern state of india, our entire state is full of coconut trees, coconut farming was a huge industry here, Recently i searched 5 foot coconut seeds. I think that's why YT recommended this video

That's some coconut! And nice video thanks for sharing!

Amazing coconuts also!

I hope you make a video how to plant dwarf coconut

Winters are too cold in California for coconut palms. If they could survive here they would have already been planted here long ago. The state is much farther north than most people realize. Los Angeles is at about the same latitude as Atlanta.

Very cool Jeff, I always wondered what palms you had by your Hawaiian Ti Plants.

Good video. That’s a big coconut from Hawaii, I know I was there. 😊

Please do an update on your coconut palms. Thank you.

Hi Jeff, do you know the name of the variety of that giant coconut you brought back from Hawaii?! So cool! Would love to learn more

I'm growing coconut trees in Mesa, Arizona.

I live in San Diego. By the ocean just 4 blocks over. Do you think it’s a viable climate to grow a coconut tree? I’d love to because I buy coconuts often and actually try and drink fresh young coconut water daily. I don’t always trust how their stored in produce departments of the Asian markets I’ve bought them from. I still buy them, and their fine. My car always smells like chemicals after about 10 minutes when I pick up a whole box of young Thai coconuts. It would be nice to grow them myself and have a fresh untainted coconut daily. 🥴 Thanks for the video.

I live in kentucky, Zone 7a. It gets only couple days of snow in winter. But its warm april through september. I have a mango tree, date palms. Will buy some queen palms and sago palms and trying to sprout a coconut. If it wont work then ill buy a coconut palm. But now in october its pretty warm still.

I have a young coconut palm that I got from a grocery store actually. I live in palm springs, Coachella valley, and I have my palm outside now under some tree getting mostly partial shade. It is still in a pot, however, I want to move it eventually to a permanent home in the ground. I think it should get some full sun, although summer heat reaches 120 degrees. seems to be doing alright in the heat now since it's in the shade. Have any recommendations for hours of full sun in that heat? I think it could climatize a little if it is cared for and planned properly.

Growing up in Miami as a kid way back in the fifties and even the early sixties coconuts were nothing to grow.Some would take root just staying in one spot on the ground without planting or cultivating.Coconuts palms trees seemed to grow wild without any human assistance about half my neighborhood were from the Bahamas and most had a coconut tree it’s not so easy nowadays you really have to put some care growing them a few decades ago some type disease hit Florida and started killing the coconut trees which are now making a comeback Florida once had guavas trees which all of a sudden disappeared That’s one tree I never could hug and climb the coconut palm.

I love your Longan tree the fruit looks so amazing. Could you please share with us how you grow and take care of a tree to have fruits? Thank you very very much.

wow,

"Excuse me sir, do you have anything to declare. No sir I don't have any plant or seeds just my motorcycle helmet. Lol..I was hoping to be the first one fruiting coconut in California. I'm in zone 10b and I ordered 2 Malayan dwarf, 1 green and 1 yellow shipped at 3ft.. I had them inside last winter and now conditioning them for the burial service. We'll see the outcome.

I so badly wanted to take home a big avocado seed with me on my last trip to Maui. I wussed out.

Any tips on growing the high mountain? Where to buy and where to plant it, also how long did yours take to grow to that size from when you got it. Thanks Jeff

I've started many without the husk and they start fine but when they start growing a bit, te shell cracks and it dies. Don't know how they can start growing without the shell cracking, then killing the plant.

Couldn't keep my 15 buck one alive indoors overwinter here in the UK 🤪🤪. Didnt like the low light and dry central heating but it was a bit of fun for a couple of months 😬😬

Hey love your Garden..Where did you get the high mountain palm one from ?

Where did you get the high mountain coco palm? I can't find one anywhere but I want to grow one at home in So Cal. Thanks.

Can coconut trees grow in california because I just live on the central coast of california rarely see coconut trees growing thriving

So I can’t grow one in the Bay Area 😞

Can i visit you? 😂😭
