About This Plant
Golden Coconut (Cocos nucifera, Arecaceae family) is a hybrid, dwarf-type coconut prized for its distinctive golden-yellow fruit colour, grown mainly for tender coconut water.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Full sun, more than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily; coastal, open areas are ideal.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content, with adequate irrigation.
- Climate: Tropical and subtropical regions, growing particularly well in coastal areas.
Planting & Spacing
Best planted in the ground with a pit size of 1x1x1 m, mixed with 50 kg farmyard manure, 1 kg bone meal, and 1 kg single super phosphate. Space trees at least 8-10 m apart — not recommended for congested spaces.
Care
- Watering: Water when the topsoil (2-3 inches) feels dry to touch.
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month for the first year; 2-3 times a year (or before flowering season) after full establishment.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; remove only damaged fronds.
Fruiting & Harvest
As a dwarf hybrid grown mainly for tender coconut water, edible fruiting typically begins 4-5 years after planting — well-known to be faster than the tall Desi variety.
Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region — we don't promise a fixed timeline.
