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.
Assuming the coconut palm is not purposely cut down or blown over in severe weather, this tropical tree can live for 80 to 90 years, according to Union County College in New Jersey. Its botanical name is Cocos nucifera and it can attain a height of 100 feet at maturity.
