How Long Does It Take for a Coconut Tree to Get Coconuts? Coconut palms, given proper care, reliably produce fruit. Coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) grow best within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and 11 where they are cultivated as ornamental trees and for their edible fruit. Given the proper care and growing conditions, coconut palms produce their first fruit in six to ten years, but take 15 to 20 years to reach peak production. Coconut palms occur naturally in the tropics, particularly in the southern Pacific Ocean.
