Coconuts are the seeds of the tree. They float, which is why they are found along beaches. They have no way of getting higher up a hill than their parent tree. They can't float up the hill, and they can't roll up the hill so they don't go up the hill unless a person or animal takes them there.

I don't believe that. Have you taken a look or just seen some photos showing them near the sea?

Here is a link that talks of them growing on land up to about 1970 feet high. http://www.agroforestry.net/tti/Cocos-coconut.pdf
