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.

...and beach treasures
Not everything that washes ashore is trash. I have bowls of pumice (see July 23, 2011 post) scattered throughout the house.
...some even with remains of sea creatures still attached.
