I protect it since it's still small.

Looks like winter is over here in Monterrey. My coconut only suffered moderate damage on older fronds (spotting). Our lowest temperature was -2⁰C for some hours but it warmed up quickly.

New coconut in the ground today.

it has been warm these past weeks in Mexico City with strong sun and no clouds in sight. This one is a Panama tall variety also called a criollo variety here in Mexico brought from Cuernavaca Morelos. It’s a bit burned because of the intense sun we’ve had. 

 

Plus we have a huge mango flower boom

 

 

And also coffee and pineapples

Nice find, mine is just starting to grow faster. We hit 40C yesterday and we will keep having full sun days next week. I'm pretty sure this dry winter is a sign of a rainy spring. Is that a mamey tree next to the coconut by the way?

Yes we hope for more good weather to come. Yes it’s a Mamey tree that was also brought from Cuernavaca

Just found two pre-2010 winter coconuts in the same street, both look neglected and both used to be planted next to another coconut palm that died in 2021.
