What is Cocos?

Cocos is a plant genus with only one kind: cocos nucifera or coconut palm. Cocos Nucifera is a large tree that grows up to 100 feet (30 meters) and is native in the tropical coastal regions of the world. It is also grown in areas that are warm, sunny and humid enough, such as California and Florida in the United States, and currently growing in more than 80 countries.

For example, different parts of the plant can be used in landscape, kitchen, horticulture, medicine and clothing, tools, shelter and musical instruments. The fruit of coconut is drupe or fruit.

Shell fruit is fibrous and fibers, called Cair, are used in some cultures to produce ropes, mats, mattresses, fishing nets and similar objects.
