I received this postcard from my family taking holidays in Guadeloupe.
Any comments from the specialists of coconut varieties ? I mean, I know
what it is, but can other researchers confirm it ?
Two hypothesis: this variety was introduced recently in Guadeloupe, or
(more probable), the printer took a picture from another country to sell
it in Guadeloupe...
Kind regards
Roland

Dear Rolan,
It looks like Hari Papua Orange Dwarf (Rangiroa Red Dwarf)

Hi Roland
Moving away from the mystery dwarf of Guadeloupe, I have just unearthed among my reprints a copy of an article “Coconut Varieties” by Leslie Wishard of Kamuela, Hawaii describing a collection of exotic varieties assemble by himself in Hawaii in the 1960s and 1970s. The article was published in The Bulletin of Pacific Tropical Botanic Garden in Hawaii in 1978 Vol 8(2), pages 33-39. Twenty five acquisitions are described. The collection is located at the Kahanu Gardens at Hana, Maui, Hawaii.

A strange postcard from Guadeloupe
Yes Tahiti Red Dwarf, Rangiroa Red dwarf, Haari Papua, a dwarf introduced in French Polynesia from Papua New Guinea, Jerard was perfectly right !
