The coconut IS the seed itself and it needs the stuff inside it to grow on.
When I lived in Hawaii I used to use the nut and start new trees with them
and then go out and plant to for people.

There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.

I once heard coconut seeds need to soak in salt water for a while before
they would
germinate. Is this true or not? Ingrid
