Coconut Palm Tree With Many Bunches, With Blue Sky In The Background Stock Photography

The coconut tree Cocos nucifera is a member of the palm tree family Arecaceae and the only living species of the genus Cocos.[1] The term `coconut` or the archaic `cocoanut`[2] can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a nut. The name comes from the old Portuguese and Spanish word coco, meaning `head` or `skull` after the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features. They are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions, and are a cultural icon of the tropics.
