I've got a lov-a-ly bunch of coconuts, deeleledeedee

Meet the sea coconut, the fruit of the Coco de Mer, a variant of coconut bearing palm trees.



The female tree bears the fruit (left, without husk), while the male tree's "catkin" is responsible for fertilization.



[From Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_of_the_Coco_de_Mer]

New legends about the Coco de Mer came into existence after 1743, when the real Coco de Mer trees were discovered. Fruits of Coco de Mer are developed only on female trees. Male trees have long phallic-looking catkins. Because of these unusual, erotic shapes, some people believed that the trees made passionate love on stormy nights. According to the legend, male trees uproot themselves, and approach female trees. Apparently the love-making trees are rather shy, and the legend has it that whoever sees the trees mating will die or go blind. The fact that even now the pollination of the Coco de Mer is not fully understood, is one of the factors behind the legend.
