It’s pretty much an undisputed fact around here that coconut trees have a single, generally straight, trunk without any branches.
And yet, we found this specimen on our recent hike to Halopa. Looking something like a saguaro cactus from Arizona, this has become a local tourist attraction with everyone around asking to show it to you.
Now, you’ve seen it too.
Very cool, Steve! Who would have thought a coconut tree would have such a branch! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
My life is complete.
Yes, it sure does resemble those cacti just down the road! 🙂
Well, a mutant coconut tree. Does it produce coconuts with agave nectar? Just kidding. Thanks for continuing to share your experiences and for the peek into life there in PNG!
