Abstract
Studies on the leaf spiral in coconut have indicated that in a very large population of palms the occurrence of left-spiralled and right-spiralled palms may roughly be 50 : 50. Further studies made on a large number of palms have confirmed the previous findings that the direction of leaf spiral has no bearing on the yield of nuts and that there is no association between spiral character and other characters of economic significance like copra content per nut arid annual copra outturn in the palms of the local ‘Tall’ variety.
