   Visitors assume that coconuts and the islands go together. They don't. Hawaii is too far by water for a coconut to remain viable floating here. Coconuts were brought to Hawaii by the early voyagers as one of their canoe plants. If you see coconut palms in the wild they were planted there. It might be along a trail as you'll see in the H-3 valley on Oahu. Or in this case they were planted for the king's refreshment when he visited Molokai. One caveat, don't go wandering around under the trees. They drop dangerous nuts and fronds. Ever notice the goats keeping the grass down? Enough said. See more..
