In Sri Lanka, the Coconut Tree—affectionately known as Kapruka, the Tree of Plenty—is cherished like family. Every part has a purpose. Every gift it offers is sacred. From root to leaf, it supports life, culture, and tradition.
What I share here is only a glimpse—because we could speak for months about its countless uses. So when you visit and see a coconut tree, pause… and offer a moment of respect. It’s more than a tree—it’s a symbol of life itself.
