The Coco de Mer

The Seychelles is home to the largest seed in the world.

It's called the Coco de Mer. In the picture Dillon is holding the fruit of the male tree, and Shea holds the fruit of the female. As you can imagine the distinct shapes of these fruit have been the source of more than a few stories. In the Seychelles the are referred to as the "Love Nut". Thankfully the one Shea is holding is hollow because the female seed can weigh as much a 30 kilos.

They only grow naturally on two small islands in the Seychelles. On the island of Praslin the Vallee de Mai, which is a small national forest of Coco de Mer trees, is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
