Wordless Wednesday - going NUTS on Maui
Saw the sign in Kihei at the Farmers Market. Do you think that's a good price for a coconut or not?
Aloha from Maui - where you can go nuts or grow nuts!
Thanks for reading My Maui Blog!

Love these photos. They really capture the spirit andcolors of the islands. Can't comment on the pricing of the nuts, however. I guess part of what you are paying for is the labor to pick 'em.

Hi Georgina~
As I opened your blog ...and we captured by the photo tonight...I had the feeling of an art work in progress..possibly a quilt...and I have the idea that coconuts must be harvested by hand or high winds...at what cost I do not know....

Jeff and janeAnne - thanks for the aloha. Yes to get the best nuts, somebody has to climb the tree to cut down a bunch, unless they are lucky enough to have low-bearing trees. Once they fall from the tree they are usually pretty mature and the meat is firm and sweet. Around here a lot of folks like them softer and younger.
We have so many but are too lazy to sell them. Now that I see they could be worth $3 bucks each I think it's time to reconsider! If this real estate thing doesn't work out I might have to start a little fruit stand.... haha.
Well, Georgina, I'd say that you have a lovely bunch of coconuts!

Patricia - Mahalo!
Jane - as I said, I can always fall back on this if times get really tough. ; )
Nuts, yumm! I bought 3 large containers just the other day in the supermarket. My little granddaughter ate a cup of cashews as soon as she saw them!
