A YOUNG COCO-NUT TREE FRUITING HEAVILY. 



Other trees of the same age in the background are bearing no fruit, 

 because they are set too close together. Their leaves form a fan-shaped 

 mass instead of the hemisphere of foliage which is characteristic of the 

 perfectly developed coco-nut tree.
