    Coconut is classified as Cocos Nucifera and grows well as a palm tree in tropical countries on sandy soil. The trees can reach 30 meters tall with large leaves up to 4.5 meters long. Coconuts grow in clusters of 5 to 20 fruits on each tree and contain a thick husk, hard shell, white oily meat, and sweet fluid inside. Every part of the coconut tree is useful as the meat can be dried into copra to extract oil for cooking, soap, and candles while the trunks are used for building houses and the leaves for roofing. Coconuts are usually propagated by seeds but can also be cloned or tissue cultured.
