This is a rare shade grown specimen in Huntington GArdens, Pasadena, California- stunted and weeping showing that this plant should not be grown in shade. Amazingly it has survived all these years and just this year a large overhead tree was removed so I hope it will survive.

Unbelievable as it may seem, this healthy looking seedling (actually, it's 10 years old) is doing 'well' in Hawaii, 1500 ft. Just growing REALLY slow

My Mountain Coconut, shortly after planting in my yard in Navarre FL. Since I planted it 14 months ago, it has grown four or five new branches, and is about to drop the three oldest branches.
