A nice looking tree too...very handsome leaves and bark..and a nice dark green. | About the Author amanda Geraldton, 400km North of Perth 4th February 2012 11:19pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: View All amanda's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... This may not actually count as an 'investment', because they were given to me, but I'd say my 5 coconut trees. They are just so versatile. I use the fronds & coconut husks for mulch, the coconut 'water' for a refreshing drink, plus the flesh to eat. (it's so filling tho). I walk around the yard with a cordless drill with a 10mm bit, find a good nut, dill a hole and shove a drinking straw in and drink it! :-) In the Philippines, it's called 'the tree of life'.
