I watched this animation on TV in early 1990s but it could be older than that. It had very short episodes of a couple of minutes long. In each episode, two characters tried to climb a coconut/palm tree and competed in doing so. That was the whole plot for every episode. No talking.
Thanks a lot!
Might be “Cocoshaker”
