The Secret
The Coconut
Would you believe that coconuts are not nuts at all, but more like peaches? Peaches, plums, cherries and coconuts are all drupes, but this drupe does not rely on animals and birds to spread around and grow. Instead, coconuts disperse themselves on the ocean tides, landing all over the globe and establishing roots and growing. Individual coconuts have even been reported to have arrived in Scandinavia.
