Not decreasing number Mani ji. There have not been coconut trees in Delhi because of its dry climate, with just 66 cm of annual rainfall, and acute winter (this year it has gone down to 2.5 degree C a few days back). A few specimens properly cared after survive at few places. These are only full grown fruiting specimens I have seen in Delhi.
