Oh God! Okay , coconut fruit last minimum 2 years or longer up to 5 years in salt water. It takes more than that to sink a coconut fruit. So it floats for that long. !!! Immediately off the tree ,, the coconut fruit is a Coca-Cola in a can. Good for man and monkey. U drink it. The primodia (like an embryo , off white bud) usually begins to grow after it drops. It takes at least 8 months in the hot tropics before the thing is ready to germinate. Usually in the tropics the primodia doesn't fill the cavity but makes a turn upward and out. Therefore the nut is polymorphic in that it can decide to grow in before turning out which delays the germination to 2 and 3 years. When this primodia is one third into growth ,, it tastes like sh it ,, just yucky. I bet you guys don't see the coconut morph that way. Most of the mophorlogy happens after it drops off the palm.

Coconuts are seeds!

it's a trick question, right ? !! Kinda like "is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable ".
The cocounut IS the seed of the coconut tree.
It falls from the tree, rolls into the tide, gets carried far out to sea, floats off, lands up on some exotic beach far away, grows a shoot, takes root and bingo - another coconut tree in the making !
Of course, there are hazzards along the way - first, it has to watch out for Fox's Survivors, like Adam of the last series, taking them to eat, then for barmen looking to make Cuba Libre's, then for wild animals wanting to play beach volleyball, then for sea creatures wanting to play water polo, then for castaways finding them just as their shoots are about to sprout, then for monkeys looking to donk unsuspecting tourists on the head etc. Life as a coconut is tough man ! Happy 2007 to you !
