Are there Cocnuts in the Rain Forest?

Question

Honest Answers Only Please.

Answer 1

Since you posted this in the Seattle forum, I'm assuming you are asking about the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic National Park. If so, the answer is no. The Hoh Rainforest has lush vegitation and gets 12-14 feet of rain each year. The temperatures are more moderate as well. The rainforest does not freeze and does not get above 80 degrees in the summer months. It is a climate all it's own.

Hope that helps! If you weren't talking about the Hoh Rainforest, I'd recommend trying another forum...good luck!

Answer 2

Since you posted this question to the Seattle group, I assume you mean the rain forest on the Olympic Peninsula. If that's the rain forest you mean, I can tell you that there are absolutely NO coconuts there--the climate, although temperate, is much too cold for tropical plants like coconut palms.

Answer 3

The coconut grows in rainforests and other tropical of climates.

The coconut palm thrives on sandy soils and is highly tolerant of salinity. It prefers areas with abundant sunlight and regular rainfall (750 to 2,000 mm annually), which makes colonizing shorelines of the tropics relatively straightforward. Coconuts also need high humidity (70–80%+) for optimum growth, which is why they are rarely seen in areas with low humidity (e.g. the Mediterranean), even where temperatures are high enough (regularly above 24°C). They are very hard to establish and cannot grow in dry climates without frequent irrigation. They may grow but not fruit properly in areas where there is not sufficient warmth like Bermuda.

Answer 4

I assume you mean the Brazilian rain forest? coconut palms are native to the South Pacific but have spread to places like the Caribbean and FL thru man's intereference
There may be coconut palms along the coast... they are not an inland understory plant

Answer 5

I believe coconuts grow on palm trees which need sandy soil. They grow in most tropical countries typically along the sea shore. http://www.rudimentsofwisdom.com/pages/coconut.htm

So, I wouldn't expect to find them deep in the rain forest.

Answer 6

Yes, coconuts are indegenous to tropical climates usually not as moist as te rainforest's. However The rainforst does indeed have coconuts as vegetation

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

The only COCONUTS in Washington state are in grocery stores. Those things you see on trees in Washington state are called PINE CONES... don't eat them.

Answer 9

No.
