This is an ultra rare coconut species native to south africa. This golden form is less common then the green Its endangered in its natural habitat. With a cold hardiness to 22-26F. Taste exactly like common coconuts. These are relatively fast growing compared to other cold hardy palm nuts like jubea chilensis. they are not smuggled out of Africa. Also the leaves looks just like a Coconut palm. So they are the most Coconut looking Palm you can grow in California and similar climates. The difference is that they form a cluster of stems. 50$ for 10 seeds.

Interesting. About what size is this nut? When opened does it have any fluid? Would it have an outer covering and you show it stripped? Thanks for your info.

How long does it take to fruit from seed? Are they self pollinating?

looks like an interesting tree and seems to be extremely rare.

Good pictures of Jubaeopsis seeds sizing in here. They're in the ballpark of a macadamia size.
