The Coconut Tree

The coconut tree is the most

useful tree in the world. The coconut
tree is also called as the “Tree of Life”
because all the parts of the entire tree,
from top to bottom, are used to sustain
human life.
The leaves are woven into roofs and
walls. It is also used in cooking to wrap
food and rice cakes, and in handicrafts to
make bags, balls, fans & hats. The trunk of
the tree is made into charcoal and lumber for building construction and making
furniture.  The bark is also used in making paper pulp. The roots are made into
rope or twine and can be used for making beverages, dyes & medicines. The
fruit also provides refreshing water and white sweet meat for eating. The
coconut meat is also used to produce coconut oil that is used for cooking. Even
the unopened flower buds are the source of coconut sap, which is used to make
vinegar and alcoholic drinks (tuba and lambanog).
The Philippines is the world's second-largest producer of coconuts. The
