Right in front of the house, it's lovely to look at, it drops coconuts on a regular basis, and what a great place to sit and listen to the waves roll in.

We rarely lose a coconut tree but when we do it's most often done in by an unseen killer that burrows into the heart of the tree from below. There's not much we can do to save the tree and this is what we find when we take it down. In our experience this has happened only to fairly young trees.

An all purpose palm tree
This palm tree with the curved trunk is one of my favorites. The photos show that its surroundings have changed a bit since the False Bluff project began; but the tree just keeps getting better.
