The height of the Lodoicea coconut tree can be quite large up to 25 to 34 meters. The leaves are giant fan shaped 7 to 10 meters long and 4.5 meters wide. Each leaf has a stem of about 4 meters. The diameter of the fruit is around 40-65 cm. And only once every two years he starts to raise new seeds of young coconut fruit. For those who may be eaten or sold for tourists, those who are mature are 6 to 7 years old.

Its age is also estimated to have reached thousands of years, and strangely there have never been new seeds or generations of their offspring elsewhere. Even though plant experts try to cultivate this rare coconut tree so that it is not extinct and can be developed for export to other countries, unfortunately their efforts always find failure.
