I assume your farm is BELOW the frost line...if not, forget it! Coconuts require very special conditons...no frost or freezing, just the right humidity (high), lots of breeze (to keep smut and fungus from growing) and water....they do not mind brackish water at all. Choose the Malayan Coconut, more desease resistant than Jamaican Coconuts. Mangos cannot tolerate temps below 40 degrees, require modest amounts of water, and do well in lousy soil. If these plants are good for your region, you will find them at the nurserys. For coconuts, just gets some coconuts, lay them on the ground and they will sprout in time...takes about 3-6 months to sprout...leave them a lone and let nature take its course. Good luck

Where do you live?
Coconut trees grow easily from fallen coconuts - we go and pick them up on the beach, plant them and they grow quite fast.
Mango trees are available at a tropical nursery...
