Potted up and ready to see what happens
This actually makes a good testament to how hardy Cocos can be, This one has been de-husked, the shell has been scored and it has sat in the refrigerated section!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Rare find
Good one. That is very rare to find a husked and shrink wrapped coconut sprouted. I use to bring back sprouted ones from Hawaii in the past that were fully in tack. I hope that does well for you. Now I'm going to be checking all the cocnuts in our grocery store. Cheers, Joe
