It is not uncommon for hybrid coconut trees to grow taller than expected. Hybrid varieties are usually developed to improve certain characteristics such as yield, disease resistance, and growth rate. This can result in taller trees with larger and more abundant fruits. However, if the tree is growing too tall and causing safety concerns or making it difficult to harvest the coconuts, pruning may be necessary. It is best to consult with a local agricultural expert or extension agent for guidance on how to properly prune the tree.
