Maypan coconut palm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maypan is an F1 hybrid coconut palm tree that is resistant to Lethal Yellowing. It was created in 1962 by crossing two varieties of coconut tree. The seeds of the Malayan Dwarf where pollenized with pollen from the Panama Tall, giving the Maypan the disease resistance of the Malayan Dwarf and much of the size and hardiness of the Panama Tall. It grows to approximately 18 meters in height.
