The best estimates for when the trees were planted vary from 1916 to 1919, although there also exist orders for trees in 1917 and 1918, the latter of which mentions the purchase of palm trees.

The last trees were planted in 1930 or the 1930s, depending on sources, and are smaller than the trees on northern portions of
Palm stearin Palm stearin Palm stearin is the solid fraction of palm oil that is produced by partial crystallization at controlled temperature. It is more variable in composition than palm olein, the liquid fraction of palm oil, especially in terms of its solid fat content, and therefore has more variable physical characteristics. Like crude palm fruit oil, palm stearin contains carotenoids, but physically refined palm oils do not, as they are removed or destroyed in the refining process. It is a useful source of natural hard vegetable fat for food applications. Palm stearin consists of mostly glyceryl tripalmitate, with most of the
