A researcher checks young palms at a plantation near the capital Abidjan, May 9, 2008. Researchers in Ivory Coast are asking $1 million for the three-headed hybrid coconut tree they believe could substantially boost the tropical nut's yield. Scientists at Ivory Coast's National Agronomic Research Centre (NARC) discovered the tree after mixing different strains of coconut palm in an effort to build disease resistance.
