In 16th century, Sir Francis Drake called coconut “nargils”, which was the common term used until the 1700’s when the word coconut was established.
Botanically speaking, a coconut is a fibrous one-seeded drupe, also known as a dry drupe. However, when using loose definitions, the coconut can be all three: a fruit, a nut, and a seed.
Every bit of the coconut is used. As a result, coconuts are called the "Tree of Life" and can produce drink, fiber, food, fuel, utensils, musical instruments, and much more.
Botanically, the coconut palm is not a tree since there is no bark, no branches, or secondary growth. A coconut palm is a woody perennial monocotyledon with the trunk being the stem.
It takes about 11 -12 months for the coconut to mature.
At one time scientists identified over 60 species of Cocos palm. Today, the coconut is a monotypic with one species, nucifera. However, there are over 80 varieties of coconut palms, which are defined by characteristics such as dwarf and tall.
Coconut growing regions are as far north as Hawaii and as far south as Madagascar.
