The performance of cultivar Lakshadweep Ordinary (LO) over 66 years in Kerala, India, is compared with that of West Coast Tall (WCT). Suitability of LO as a parent in the production of high quality hybrids is also compared with that of WCT. Results showed that LO has higher nut yield potential than WCT. LO hybrids with Gangabondam (GB) were superior to WCT X GB hybrids.
