Difference between flowers and fruits: Hawaiian coconut flowers are pink, berries are purplish red; pocket coconut flowers are small yellow beads, berries are orange red or yellow.

I. plant type difference

The height of Hawaiian coconut is relatively high, which can grow to about 3 meters. The stem is very upright and grows in clusters. Several plants grow together. There are obvious bamboo nodes on the plant. Each bamboo node is about 10 cm long and looks clear.

The height of the mini coconut is limited, the plant type is shorter, and the maximum length is about 1 meter. Only a few branches grow together, so it is difficult to cluster. There is no obvious slub on the plant. It looks small, so it's difficult to distinguish it. It's about 1 cm

The difference between leaves

The leaves of Hawaiian coconut are lanceolate, relatively long, about 35cm long, but very narrow.

The leaves of pocket coconuts are relatively short, about 14-22cm in length and about 2-3cm in width. Although they are short, they are wider than the leaves of the former.
