Probably radioactive. The original coconut probably floated over from Bikini Island after the nuclear tests.

Um, they can buy one from me.

I’ll have to go look for one, though.

I’m sure I’ll find one on my island, though.

Don’t know if it’s the same, but if you cut the top of a pine tree, it will continue to grow, sprouting two tops.

Maybe the coconut tree was cut or damaged at the top, causing the divided growth.

It says it’s rare, but how rare is it really?

I’d prefer a Bonzai tree.

Give me 10 minutes and a chain saw and I can fix that...

This just in: Keef Richards has just relinquished any claims to the coconut tree.

If the cultivar could be propagated via seedling, the tree is worth a fortune far greater than the asking price. However, I would need pretty strong evidence that the condition is genetic before considering.

Have you ever tried whacking off the top of a cocunut with a machete? They have a very hard shell that does not cut with a knife. It is GOD's own composite material. It is fibrous and shatters like a motorcycle helmet.

To get that kind of a cut you need a saw. Native strip the husk off and then whack the equator with a heavy object to cause an equitorial crack (where the strain from a sharp blow is concentrated).
