Plant coconut (seed) to grow palm trees?
Would it be an option to dig a hole, put in a coconut, and let a palm tree grow, you need to water it naturally?

Sure. And in 13 to 15 years the tree will begin producing coconuts :P

Well, since a day in the game isn't anywhere near 24 real life hours then I would guess 13 to 15 years could be scaled to fit in to the game too.

I did the math a while back, and under the accelerated growth speeds of the game you would be looking at 156 days to begin producing coconuts and 209 days to reach full size. I wouldn't mind that. But my question is, are you willing to go through the effort, knowing how long the payoff would take?

More options are good options.... imo.

I don't hink yucca plants re-grow in a few days in RL, no one seems to complain that they don't spawn at a realistic rate, so what's the big deal with scaling palm trees a little differently than RL?
If I could paddle to the surrounding islands of my "home base" and plant palms to use in the future .......

As I said, the 156 and 209 day estimates ARE taking into account the rapid growth rate of plants in-game. IRL coconut palms take 15 years to start bearing fruit and 20 to reach full size.

They wouldn't get there naturally. Bamboo isn't salt resistant. So any bamboo would have been brought there by humans.

Of course! They are the tricksters of the sea, after all.
They must have brought them there to screw with me. ;P
