COCONUTS

Coconuts grow from a palm, not a tree as many people thought. Coconut varieties can be classified as tall and dwarf coconut palms. The tall palms are late-bearing and produce a bole at the base of the stem, while dwarf palms are early-bearing and without a bole. Nam Hom coconuts arose as a mutant of the Mu Si Khieo variant.

Thailand is the only country that produces Nam Hom coconuts. The two variants of Nam Hom coconuts are Kon Jeeb and Kon Klom. The weight and size of these coconuts determine their qualities.
