The Intelligent Coconut Tree ...
There is a huge coconut tree right besides my home in Chennai. And at most times in the year, there are a huge bunch of tender coconuts (yezhani) hanging there. And as it so happens, the tree sits right above my designated parking space and this was always a source of worry to me - I did not want a falling coconut to dent my car ....
However, I heard this piece of information that made me feel a lot better - Apparently, there have been almost no cases of coconuts falling either on people or cars, ever !
I found this amazing ! Is the coconut tree an intelligent life form ?? And have any of you heard of a person or car being hit by falling coconuts ?

The abscission of coconuts happen only when they are fully mature. i.e. when tender coconut becomes coconut and further goes on to become dried coconut (kopparai).
So have a peace of mind.
@ Piggy, are you the BITSian piggy ???
@Gargs, have people been hurt by jackfruits ?
No damage yet so far, and *touch wood* ;)
I like to see the coconut trees swaying in the beach when the wind blows..
Nice :)
