Wasn't sure where to post this... so decided here was ok!
I am going to Perth in a week or so for some work and when I was over there earlier this year - I couldn't for the life of me find any young coconuts!

I know there are some Perth natives on this forum (Jen, Joss) I wonder if they might know of a secret supply and point me to its whereabouts!

Would be most appreciative as can't imagine a week without them and don't think you are allowed to bring fruit into WA!

merci,
JLK.

Joss,

Do you know if young Thai coconuts are available in Perth?

Cheers,
Sheryl

Its great to see some new Perth posters on here!

After coming back from my recent trip, where I indulged in young coconuts in Port Douglas,  I am going to start the hunt seriously in Perth.  I am going to find some dammit!  I will search every asian grocer, high and low. They must be somewhere to be found.   The coconut, pawpaw, banana smoothie I had was good enough to commit huge amounts of effort in searching!

Young coconuts are worlds apart from old dry ones.

oh man....thats soooo cooool lucky u....2 free coconuts!
did they have nemore there jen? i havent had a chance to start my search.

(do katie and simon post on here?)  x

hello perth people
what a great town[ my fathers family are from there] I am pretty sure coconuts would grow in nth west aus? Rockhampton is the supposed southern boundry in QLD.I have seen coconuts with nuts on in Bris. Select trees around Maryborough and Hervey bay are conistent,mainly Malay dwarf trees[a different species] they are smaller and not as much juice[less than 1/2 ?] but are easier to get at ,you can stand on your car and get at most of them.I think some one sooner or later will do some breeding work on these to get strains suitable for more southerly locations-I hope.anyway I know of a litte ripper in childers if anyone would like to try growing one-better near the beach. We all should whack afew in and see what happens.....
