RE: Trees with Purpose - 2 South African Trees Identified for Tree Tuesday
Wow! Those trees are really valuable!
We have coconut trees all around us. It typically used from roots to tip! Leaves are used as thatch roof, basket and mats, midribs of the leaf are used as brooms, trunks are used to make lumber for furniture and houses, its roots are used as a dye. Aside from that coconut fruit have a variety of usage. The coconut meat can made as coconut oil, coconut milk, soap. Coconut water is a refreshing drink but it can also be used to produce wine or vinegar when fermented. These are only but few of its usage!!! 😊
Wow, that also has so many uses @gingbabida fresh coconut we do get.
I have not seen plantations near to where I live, further up the coast in Mozambique I witnessed children climb to get the fruit, many years ago.
