On a trip south in Bluefields Bay to visit a friends place we passed by a beautiful point with just a single home on it. The picture does not capture how scenic it really is. I can only imagine the view of the bay from there.
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.
