The coconut Tree grows in large number on big plantation. The coconut tree itself can grow approximately up to 30-35 meters high. It has long green leaves that turn brown after sometime. There is the coconut (fruit) that can be used for almost all usage especially in the kitchen. One common use is to make the curry.

All you have to do to make your curry tasty and smell good, is to apply some of the coconut milk to it.

But for this time you will find for yourself that we can really use the materials obtain from this tree for other good purposes. For doing anything that you can think of so as to bring home as a piece of holidays. And as you will read along you will notice also that all of these are handmade and it took really some times to turn those bits and pieces as they are now in order for you to get this beatiful artcraft to your home. The better would be to pass by in our shop - but maybe next time ;-).
