When we moved here, we were told by a few people that the cocos palms, as beautiful as they are, can become a real nuisance. You see, they drop thousands of these seed pods which are act like ball bearings when you tread on them. We've nearly come a cropper on several occasions. Worse still, when they start to ripen, the fruit bats bring their families for feasting. These fruit bats are the size of tom cats and make these dreadful screeching noises all night long. So now that the fruit is ripening, the decision to cut down the two cocas palms was an easy one! While Curt was at it, he felled the pawpaw tree overhanging the balcony too...for the same reason. Bats love em...and since neither of us like pawpaw and we'd prefer drinking water without batshit, that went down too.
