contents The sandpile group of a connected graph is a finite abelian group whose cardinality is the number of spanning trees in the graph. We compute the spanning tree number and sandpile group structure for the cone over a bi-coconut tree, generalizing work of Reiner and Smith on the cone over a coconut tree. We also answer one of their questions, by exhibiting a family of trees whose sandpile groups are all cyclic but their number of leaves grows without bound.
