Coconut is a very typical tropical fruit, which can be found everywhere in Hainan. So do you know how coconut trees spread their seeds? Let's have a look together!

1. What do coconut trees rely on to spread their seeds

Coconut trees mainly rely on water to spread their seeds. If the coconut falls into the sea after ripening, the density of fat is relatively low, which makes the coconut float on the water and spread with the sea.

2. How to select coconut trees

In production, the yield and quality of coconut can be improved by selecting mother trees and collecting excellent seeds.

⑴ selected mother tree: the coconut tree with high yield per plant, spherical or hemispherical crown, more than 28-30 leaves and 6-8 ears was selected as the seed collection mother tree.

⑵ fruit selection: in the coconut ripening season, select fully mature, moderate size, nearly round fruit, that is, "dense, heavy, ripe" selection method. "dense" means that the plant is short, the number of leaves and fruits are large, and the distribution is uniform. "heavy" means that the proportion of the fruit is large, the skin is thin and the flesh is thick, the germination rate is high, and it is easy to produce strong seedlings. "ripe" is the ripe fruit, which shakes with the sound of "ringing water". After the fruit is harvested, it is stored in a ventilated, shaded and dry place, and budding is carried out 1 month later.

The questions related to the spread of coconut seeds are summarized here by Tuliu.com today. I hope this article will be helpful to you.
