How many years will it take to grow?

Agriculture can make one a billionaire under the space of 5yrs, but Nigerian youths are not patient enough and ready to soil their hands dirty.... Everybody wants quick money.

If you plant around 250, you will proudly display it.
Stop lying to people.

Well done. I thought I saw "My Coconut head experience".

umuna:

Towards the end of 2021, I took the decision to go into farming and to farm coconut partly to it's free maintenance while growing and the opportunities in coconut trade in Nigeria. Honestly, it has not been easy, but it has been fun with a lot of experience. Please share your thoughts and experience if you are into coconut farming too.

This is a good path. God bless ur handwork my brother.

mariahAngel:

How about 2 coconut trees planted side by side. One proudest fruits while the other remains barren, what could be the reason?

Hmmm. The specie matters in this situation. The coconut planted are they both dwarf type? Because if they are both the dwarf type, they will both produce. But if they are the specie that takes longer and taller, it will not fruit because they are both competing for food(nutrients in the soil).

I have come across this scenario in a friends family compound at Ijebu Ode. They have older coconut trees in the compound, and because the mum and sisters don't bother to check when ever some coconut falls from the trees, those coconut ended up germinating. I even harvested some last month from this dwarf trees.

I will try and post a picture of this scenario 2nd week of January 2023 God willing for you to see that, it sures boils down to the specie planted.

Do you sleep on Nairaland?

This is commendable, a long term investment.
I pray God spare your life to reap the fruit of the labour.

Na man you be naa, you no go kee yaself


Anyway it's nothing

Do you want to take advantage of the coconut value chain properly as well get access to vast opportunities (hybrid seedlings, expert opinions, market, government funding opportunities, etc)? I suggest you become a member of NACOPPMAN (that's the umbrella body for anything coconut in Nigeria).

It's the dwarf coconut species. It's scenarios like this and the other one in my previous comment that convinced that there are male and female coconut plants. Thanks for the lectures, wishing you a bountiful harvest.

Thanks brother, I appreciate. And amen to your prayers.

Its takes 10 to 15 years before the coconut can be matured for eating. Early production will not get strong.

Tried this and grass cutter killed everything

Wait o 3-4 years before a coconut tree start producing fruit, what is now the advantage of planting it for commercial sale if u have to wait so long and devote a lot of resources to it. Like comparing it with plantain which do u think is worth the resources (more profitable) for commercial planting

No.

Nothing like male and female coconut trees.. We mainly have that in Pawpaw and date palm.

The coconut refused to fruit majorly for two reasons;
1 poor nutrition.

2.Disease.

In such case, the farmer must apply a good pesticide to fumigate the tree.

Then apply NPK and Urea fertilizers in poor leaf condition, urea must be included.

Then lastly, Foestrogen.

All this is best done during rainy season...Watch out for the magic.

This is applicable to any fruit bearing tree passing through same conditions.
