===Coconut Palm(multi-use)===
The coconut palm is a large palm, growing to 30 m tall, with pinnate leaves 4–6 m long, pinnae 60–90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly leaving the trunk smooth. Virtually every part of the coconut palm has some human uses, and the palms have a comparatively high yield, up to 75 fruits per year.
* The nut provides oil for cooking and making margarine.
* The white, fleshy part of the seed, the coconut meat, is edible and used fresh or dried in cooking.
* The cavity is filled with coconut water which contains sugar, fiber, proteins, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Coconut water provides an isotonic electrolyte balance, and is a highly nutritious food source. It is used as a refreshing drink throughout the humid tropics and is also used in isotonic sports drinks. It can also be used to make the gelatinous dessert nata de coco. Mature fruits have significantly less liquid than young immature coconuts; barring spoilage, coconut water is sterile until opened.
* Coconut milk is made by processing grated coconut with hot water or milk, which extracts the oil and aromatic compounds. It should not be confused with coconut water, and has a higher fat content. When refrigerated and left to set, coconut cream will rise to the top and separate from the milk. The milk is used to produce virgin coconut oil by controlled heating and removing the oil fraction. Virgin coconut oil is found superior to the oil extracted from copra for cosmetic purposes.
* The leftover fiber from coconut milk production is used as livestock feed.
* The sap derived from incising the flower clusters of the coconut is drunk as neera, or fermented to produce palm wine, also known as "toddy" or, in the Philippines, tuba. The sap can be reduced by boiling to create a sweet syrup or candy, too.
* Apical buds of adult plants are edible, and are known as "palm-cabbage" or heart-of-palm. They are considered a rare delicacy, as the act of harvesting the buds kills the palms. Hearts of palm are eaten in salads, sometimes called "millionaire's salad". 
* Coconut nectar is an extract from the young bud, a very rare type of nectar collected and used as morning break drink in the islands of Maldives, and is reputed to have energetic power, keeping the "raamen" (nectar collector) healthy and fit even over 80 or 90 years old. A by-product, a sweet honey-like syrup called dhiyaa hakuru is used as a creamy sugar for desserts.
* Newly germinated coconuts contain an edible fluff of marshmallow-like consistency called coconut sprout, produced as the endosperm nourishes the developing embryo.
* In the Philippines, rice is wrapped in coco leaves for cooking and subsequent storage; these packets are called puso.
* Coir (the fiber from the husk of the coconut) is used in ropes, mats, brushes, caulking boats and as stuffing fiber; it is also used extensively in horticulture for making potting compost.
* Copra is the dried meat of the seed and, after further processing, is a source of low grade coconut oil.
* Coconut leaves can be used for making brooms.
* Coir can be used for making mattresses.
* The leaves provide materials for baskets and roofing thatch.
* Palmwood comes from the trunk, and has several applications, particularly in furniture and specialized construction.
* Hawaiians hollowed the trunk to form drums, containers, or even small canoes.
* The husk and shells can be used for fuel and are a good source of charcoal.
* Dried half coconut shells with husks are used to buff floors.
* Activated carbon manufactured from coconut shell is considered superior to those obtained from other sources, mainly because of small macropores structure which renders it more effective for the adsorption of gas/vapor and for the removal of color, oxidants, impurities and odor of compounds.
* Shirt buttons can be carved out of dried coconut shell.
* The stiff leaflet midribs can be used to make cooking skewers, kindling arrows, or are bound into bundles, brooms and brushes.
* The roots are used as a dye, a mouthwash, and a medicine for dysentery. A frayed-out piece of root can also be used as a toothbrush.
*One can make a rug from coconut fiber
* The leaves can be woven to create effective roofing materials, or reed mats.
* Dried coconut leaves can be burned to ash, which can be harvested for lime.
* Dried half coconut shells are used as the bodies of musical instruments.
* Coconut is also commonly used as a traditional remedy in Pakistan to treat bites from rats.
* The "branches" (leaf petioles) are strong and flexible enough to make a switch. The use of coconut branches in corporal punishment was revived in the Gilbertese community on Choiseul in the Solomon Islands in 2005.
*In a jam, one can inscribe a message on the inside of a coconut husk.
* Coconut trunks are used for building small bridges; they are preferred for their straightness, strength and salt resistance. Coconut trunks can also be also used for house construction.
* Coconut nuts are used to make soap.
* Leaves can be woven together into a basket that could be used for drawing water from a well.
* The dried Calyx of the coconut is used as fuel in wood fired stoves.
* The fresh husk of a brown coconut is also used as a dish sponge or as a body sponge.
* The mid-rib of the coconut leaf can be used as a tongue-cleaner.
