Field Notes

Description:

Can grow up to 100 feet tall and carries coconuts which only have 1 seed. The coconuts that grow from the tree are covered with a dark brown husk and a hard shell. Inside is a milky liquid also with white meat.

Habitat:

Usually around the beach because it can still survive with all the salt around but can also be found almost anywhere.
