Finding Fruit Trees

[gregj69]

I am trying to get some mature coconut trees, about 8-12 feet high, some tree ferns and some other fruit trees for my new garden. Does anyone know where to source them near Pattaya. Thanks if you can help.

If it for your garden, do you really want coconut trees or just decorative palms?

Most markets have small 1-2m saplings of fruit trees and garden shops sometimes have sprouted coconuts ( smaller fast growing type the wife says) as well as various palms.

If you treat 'em right ( i just ignore ours) and depending where you are, soil etc even very small palms will grow to 10-12 feet in 3-5 years. We have some betel palms I grew from seed some are 3m high after 5 years others like our sprouted coconuts have reached 4 metres in same time....but some seem to just sit and others get eaten by ants and die..

Bought 4 x 4m expensive foxtails 5 years ago..have 2 left ......lol

Had a small potted palm ( no idea what sort) planted it out six years ago and ignored it , is now about 10 metres high and 3m across...go figure.
