Here are some global views of horned coconut...
The appearance of the coconut palm itself is normal, it is only in the inflorescences and bunches that the peculiarities become visible. Coconuts contain a normal white kernel and germinate normally. The taste of the kernel does not differ from that of ordinary coconut palms.

The coconut palms themselves are normal. Some of them are not very productive, but not all of them. In French Polynesia, we observed some horned coconut palms which annually produced a good hundred fairly large fruits.
