Growing A Palm Tree

I found this sprouting coconut while walking along the beach in The Bahamas and wanted to bring it home so I could always have a little piece of that wonderful island with me. I knew keeping it alive in New England would be a challenge, but I was up to it.

At first I kept the plant outside, but with colder months approaching and days getting shorter, I moved it indoors and put it under bright growing lights - almost as good as tjhhe Bahamian sun!

Here’s how my palm tree looks now. The fig tree is keeping it nice company.
