This is taken this morning. While I was busy spraying home made fertilizer to my plants outside my house gate.
Just happen to notice the big blooming first fruit buds to my kelapa pandan (coconut) tree. Based on my notes, I have planted it even before February 2017. 
It took almost 1,055 days or 2 year, 10 months and 22 days for it to start produce first fruit buds.

After this, I need to keep track the time taken for the fruit buds to become fully grown coconut for future reference.
