The coconut palms we use in this study are cultivated at Marc Delorme Research Station, managed by Centre National de Recherche Agronomique (CNRA) and located in Abidjan on the southern coast of Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa (5.25-5.27 N, 3.82-3.85 W). The hybrid crosses in this study were planted in five fields in 1986 (field 22), 1988 (field 23), 1992 (field 84), 1997 (field 52), and 1998 (field 34). These fields were minimally managed: all trees were applied with fertiliser until they are 12 years old, nuts were harvested after each yield count, and dead/diseased individual trees were removed. There was no further management and, critically, they received no irrigation. Furthermore, the fields were very similar physically (i.e., same arenosol soil type and similar drainage) and were in the same location, meaning they experienced the same climatic patterns.
