Vietnam Coconut Plant (Cocos nucifera) is an exotic coconut type popularly grown from Vietnam, especially associated with the coconut-growing regions of the Mekong Delta and Ben Tre. Dwarf and hybrid coconut types are valued for their compact growth, early bearing potential and sweet tender coconut water. Depending on the specific cultivar and plant maturity, grafted or selected dwarf plants may start flowering and producing nuts in approximately 2–3 years under suitable growing conditions. These compact coconut plants are suitable for tropical gardens, farms and large open spaces and are especially attractive to gardeners looking for an earlier-bearing coconut plant.
