| Can you tell me what this is? The seed is cracked all the way to the center. At the base of the stem to grow a new beginning. Double stem? Should I be worried, or do I let it all grow? Coconut palm is healthy and doing well otherwise. The leaves are dark green and it makes the new growth. |

| It looks healthy! Definitely nothing to be concerned about. Eventually the "coconut" part will rot away. -Alex |

| Thank you so much for your replies. Now I can stop worrying and see how the plant grows. Here in Finland, it's raining today the first snow. Outsdoor is -3C (-19F). I do not like winter. Caribbean .... where are you? :) |

| It's because the outer shell is so hard and inflexible, to make room for the stem it has to split. With your temperatures I certainly wouldn't want to change places with you, LOL. |
