It's possible that someone purchased a bunch of fabric and was test running a block print on it. Some of the coconut trees look like they had too much paint on the block and so the appearance is different on each set of three trees with some looking like it bled a little to make the trunks of the trees larger or fronds wider/darker. There is an indication that it was block printed as your second photo shows a little bit of smearing on the top frond. Also, the weave to the fabric, almost reminds me of damask (is that how you spell it) and might have been dyed that orange color. Maybe it was an old tablecloth that was used for the testing of a crafter. The black might be brush painted.
