Coconut is a summer fruit. Although it can bloom all year round, it can only mature in high temperature environment, so it matures in summer, but it also depends on the region. For example, in Hainan, you can eat it all year round, but the best thing is summer.

Coconut is a perennial evergreen tree, native to the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, mainly distributed in tropical areas between 23 degrees south latitude and 23 degrees north latitude. As of 202 1, there are about 93 countries and regions in the world planting coconuts, among which the Philippines is the country with the largest coconut production.

Growth habit of coconut

1, temperature

Temperature is the most important factor affecting the growth of coconut. The annual average temperature needs to reach 24~25 degrees Celsius, and the annual and daily temperature differences are preferably less than 6~7 degrees Celsius.

Step 2: Moisture

Coconut requires high water content and is not drought-tolerant. The annual rainfall should be between 1200 ~ 2300mm, and the temporal and spatial distribution is optimal.

3. sunshine

Coconut needs more than 2000 sunshine hours a year. If the sunshine time is less than 1500 hours, it will have a great influence on the growth of coconut.

4. altitude

Coconuts are mainly distributed in low altitude areas from 500 meters above sea level, but they are also distributed at altitude 1000 meters.

5. Land

Coconut is suitable for growing in a wide range of soil types, the optimal soil pH is between 5.5 and 7, and it can also tolerate soil with pH between 4.5 and 8, and is widely planted in loam and well-drained clay.

6. Bioclimatology

The flowering and fruiting period of coconut is mainly in autumn. After planting for 3-4 years, the coconut will blossom and bear fruit for decades until the coconut tree dies.
