cracking coconuts

[fruitlovers]

I'm also interested, but i'd like to know the complete height of the tree, not just the stem. Even the dwarf types have very long leaves?
I tried to germinate a random coconut last year, i bought it at grocery store, but since it was dehusked it splitted just after i put it in the pot. I guess, you must assure to keep the husk if yoy want to germinate them.

Husked coconuts can be sprouted, but it's much easier to sprout the ones with the husks on.
