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.
