The high-species coconut plant is 15-30 meters high, the base is expanded, cross-pollination begins to bear fruit for 7-8 years, the oil content is high, and the economic life is as long as 70-80 years. Dwarf coconuts are divided into three categories: red dwarf, yellow dwarf and green dwarf according to the color of fruit and leaves. The plant is only 5-15 meters high, self-pollinating and bearing fruit for 3-4 years. The fruit is small and many, the coconut meat is thin and soft, and the oil content is low. The economic life span is 30-40 years. It is mainly used for fruit, hybrid parents and ornamental.
