coconut tree

Tall beachside palm

A coconut tree is a tall palm that grows in tropical coastal regions, producing coconuts.

The tree is distinctive for its slender trunk, feathery fronds, and clusters of large fruit.

Nearly every part is useful—the nut for food and oil, the trunk for timber, the fronds for thatch: Coconut trees lined the beach.
