Came across my fb ag. feed... so sales for "mapreow" a unique coconuts, very expensive. Coconut in Thai "mapraow".
Upon reading more, the uniqueness of the tree comes from a genetic defect that does not product female flowers, so the fruits and inflorescence look very interesting.
However was sad to read, that when planting these nuts, it will likely just revert to regular coconut, so a waste of money I guess.
Anything know anything more about this?
Here is a video showing a farmer who has two trees:

This is the thai word for it: มะแพร้ว
I can not find anything in English about this, so I'll just assume it is a genetic defect that occurs in 1/100,000 or something like that.
Also a good chance I misunderstood, and it it does not have male flowers..., but I can confirm it is missing one of the sexes of flowers!
