Jamaican / Malayan Dwarf Coconut Seed Cocos nucifera Tropical Palm Tree The Jamaican / Malayan Dwarf coconut palm tree is a variety of dwarf coconut that has a skinny base and trunk all the way up to the base of the canopy. “Dwarf” refers to the size at which this cultivar will begin to produce coconuts, not the size it will ultimately achieve, though this variety is certainly small in stature on all accounts.
