Kleptomania is different from shoplifting or ordinary theft, which is: 1  Deliberate. 2  Motivated by the stolen item's usefulness or monetary value. 3  The result of a dare, an act of rebellion, or a rite of passage.
The coconut palm, a tropical plant not tolerant of frost, grows outdoors in USDA hardiness Zones 10 and warmer. Having beauty in form and texture, the singular, oft-leaning trunk is topped by a feathery tuft of large fronds that is exquisite against a tropical sky.
Coconut palms perform best when grown in full sun with moderately moist, fast-draining soil. Soil pH is not an issue, nor is soil salinity. Occasional flooding does not hurt coconut palm roots, but consistently submerged soil will eventually kill the tree. In areas where temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit are common, plant coconut palms in a sheltered area against a south-facing wall to minimize cold damage.
