Variety Name	Description
Brown Coconut	A large, fibrous fruit from the coconut palm, containing sweet water and a hard shell lined with edible white flesh.
Coconut Cream	The 'Coconut Cream' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in south Florida.
Dwarf Coconut	Dwarf coconut is a range of varieties of coconut palm. The use of the word “dwarf” here does not refer to the tree's size, as it can reach heights of 50–100 feet which is certainly not a dwarf. Instead, the dwarf designation refers to the size at which it will begin to produce the coveted or harvestable coconut.
East Coast Tall	Another major "tall" variety. Well-suited for a variety of soil types and known for its large, high-quality, fibrous nuts.
Fiji Dwarf (Niu Leka)	A compact, highly ornamental, and productive dwarf variety. Known for its large, round nuts and resistance to wind.
Green Coconut	Coconut water is the clear liquid inside young coconuts. In early development, it serves as a suspension for the endosperm of the coconut during the nuclear phase of development. As development continues, the endosperm matures into its cellular phase and deposits into the rind of the coconut pulp. The liquid inside young coconuts is sometimes preferred to the liquid of a ripened coconut. Coconut water from young green coconuts is also known specifically as buko juice in Philippine English.
King Coconut	King coconut is a variety of coconut, native to Sri Lanka, where it is known as Thæmbili also found in India and Indonesia. It has less sugar content than other coconuts. There are several sub-varieties of the king coconut, the most common being the "red dwarf". The other variety is "Ran Thæmbili", a smaller variety containing about forty nuts in a bunch. The king coconut tree is shorter than coconut trees, and is commonly found growing wild in many areas of the country.
Kopyor Coconut	Macapuno, also called coconut sport, is a naturally occurring coconut cultivar that has an abnormal development of the endosperm. The result of this abnormal development is a soft translucent jelly-like flesh that fills almost the entire central cavity of coconut seeds, with little to no coconut water.
Macapuno	A mutant variety with a thick, jelly-like, soft coconut meat that fills the entire cavity. A delicacy.
