My Favourite Tree

Up in the sky my favourite tree
It's roots are deep, it's branches are free

Tall tree forever green
Looking at you makes me grin

Father of oil, God of wine
Whose produce are sweet and fine

Because of you a farmer earns wages
When your fruits are exposed like open pages

A fertile land or barren soil
Never stops you from producing oil

Stout tree, Strong One
A farmer's heart you have won

In times of plenty you are the cause of it
Your sweet strong nuts are what we eat

Friend of the coconut tree, high and mighty
The thought of losing you is not taken lightly

Can you guess what tree it is?
