The one-eyed coconut
By Dr R. Bourdeix, click on the pictures to enlarge them ...
One-eyed coconuts are regarded and valued by various cultures as a bringer of good-luck and prosperity.
In 2011, this coconut was sold to an Australian collector. The main objective of this sale was not winning money, but communication. Now, it is expected that many coconut stakeholders and researchers from everywhere in the world will look carefully at their coconuts straight in the eyes to find such rarities... Hoping that many new "coconut freaks" will be discovered in the coming years.
Normal coconuts have three round indented markings or "eyes"...
This coconut have only one !
This is a real coconut found in Africa in 1999. It belonged to the private collection of Dr R. Bourdeix, in Montpellier, France, and was the unique available of its kind.
There is no coconut palm producing regularly this kind of such a strange coconuts. One eyed coconut is very rare; it occurs no more than one time within several millions of normal coconut.

Two eyed coconut are rare; it occurs no more than one time within several hundreds of normal coconut.
They are known as "Ekaakshi Nariyal" in India.
Some Indian people call it "one eyed coconut", because they say normal coconut have a mouth and two eyes (when we said three eyes),
so "Ekaakshi Nariyal" have a mouth and one eye
(when we say two eyes).
In 2016, "Ekaakshi Nariyal" coconuts are sold
in an Indian internet site: http://www.rudraksham.com
8 branches coconut palms
Following the publication of information about the first 3 headed coconut palm, pictures of multi-headed coconut palms where sent to us.
One of the nicest image was sent to us by Luigi Guarino, with the mysterious name of "Rajnesh Sant"; It seems to be, at least, a nice 7 (or even 8) headed coconut tree but nobody knows where is located this palm. It seems to be a secret...
Another famous 8 headed coconut palm was described by Marc Rombaud in the Island of Ko Samui. Up to now, there is no good picture available. This palm is well known as a tourist attraction. In the past some information can be found (but is no longer available) at this URL address: http://www.samuitourism.com/attractions/coconut_tree.htm
Some information was found in Panoramio, but the link is no longer active (http://www.panoramio.com/photo/42452948). It seems that this palm is finally located in Kozhenchery, Kerala, at 105 km south of Kochi
So, to anybody having a confirmed good picture of the Ko Samui 8 headed coconut palm, please send it to us! Probably this palm is now dead.
When you own such a palm and when it fell down, it is possible to take separately each of the branch, cut two third of the existing leaves and replant in the soil with good watering. Please this will avoid to loose a so precious coconut freak!
