I will get a message to Mamoru Matsunaga, the man who made that garden for the Botanical Garden. I was there when he was hip deep in the pond placing the stones "just so"....
It is quite possible that woodpeckers had seriously damaged that coconut tree...they did it to mine...and yes, another one should be planted forthwith!!

One of my ATF places on the planet.I lost a "palm Tree", and an awning during "Issac".
I live very close to the "Jardin Botanico" and the wind was relly strong.
The tree was very tall and exposed, could have easily blown down.
I visit there often,and always take visitors to SD there. It is like being on another planet!
