Take the little babys and tie a string around a bunch of them while still on the tree and cut the bunch off with a knife and then stick a mason jar over the bunch and tie the jar to the tree in a few days the jar will fill with liquid, and a few days later it will ferment and you have "tuba"..drink it and you will fill really good and chummy with your buddies(your enemys also)dont drink a whole quart it will give you a bad hangover...dont ask how I know this..lol..DVC..ps copra is rotten coconuts that they use to make coco butter for just about anything..and if you have ever been to a copra farm you never forget it because it stinks to the very high heavens....
