Kleptomania is different from shoplifting or ordinary theft, which is: 1  Deliberate. 2  Motivated by the stolen item's usefulness or monetary value. 3  The result of a dare, an act of rebellion, or a rite of passage.
The coconut palm, a tropical plant not tolerant of frost, grows outdoors in USDA hardiness Zones 10 and warmer. Having beauty in form and texture, the singular, oft-leaning trunk is topped by a feathery tuft of large fronds that is exquisite against a tropical sky.
A single-trunked plant, the coconut palm will reach a mature height of between 80 and 100 feet, although after 40 years of age, a plant is typically 65 feet tall. The canopy, or tuft of leaves atop the trunk can be as wide as 26 to 30 feet in diameter.
