Tall coconuts are the most widely known variety, but for backyards and smaller production we now also offer Dwarf Coconuts. In general, dwarf coconuts are self pollinating, high yielding, easy to harvest, tolerant of diseases such as ‘Lethal Yellowing’, poor soils and they mature early. Many will fruit within four years in a moist tropical climate and reach full output by 6 years, often with coconuts touching the ground. Dwarfs reach heights from 5m to 12m, depending on variety, although at a much slower pace than talls, as generally all the palm proportions are smaller. Two distinct varieties are on offer, the Robust Dwarf Coconut Palm, and the more common Fragile Dwarf Coconut Palm.

Cocos nucifera, the standard tall Coconut Palm, is the true symbol of the tropics. It grows to aprox 30m tall and is long lived, with graceful fronds. It is generally more hardy than the dwarf varieties, especially in areas outside of the tropics, and is longer lived than the dwarf coconut. It lives for 80-120 years, where dwarves live 40-60 years. Tall coconuts are more often used in commercial plantations due to higher copra yield and longer productive lifespan.
