Owning land upon which I can not dig holes makes cracks in the lava flows potential planting sites.  I have 2 coconut trees I’d like to plant in them but after a rain the cracks hold water for a few hours and it rains here at times such that the water can stick around for a bit.  Any thoughts on how these palms might fare with frequently drowned roots? I’ve been abusing them in their pots with no supplemental watering so I wonder about abusing them in the opposite direction…

I would think as long as it is hot enough and the water does not go Anaerobic it should be fine. Anyone could fill me in here?

In your climate they'll do just fine.

A lot of coconuts grow along canals and lakes at the water line. I think it should be fine.

They will do just fine, I have many planted where when the tide is high they are well under water (brackish) and they are thriving.
