He is now confident to be able to handle it himself
Last time when I brought the jack fruit from my native, I only had to make sure to make it ready to eat, after cutting it, and bringing out. It's good that he loves the taste as well as texture ( modern kids are more behind pizzas / burgers, my own daughter does not like it), so he requested me to bring some from the native. Once the rain starts, the taste of Jack fruit fades, so I told him, this would be the last of this year. We had one tree at the backwards, having two Jack fruits at such high that, they were left over, as there was no way, we could get them.
I tried to put a ladder, but it didn't go that far. And there are no strong branch (as this is a new one evolved over last decade), which I could stick to and climb to the top. So I decided to seek some help from our Football team. And to my surprise, we have someone who can climb the trees better than a monkey - some amazing skills. Next morning, I made the utilities ready.
There was no way, one could cut and bring it down by hand, so it had to be cut and slowly released down inside a bag, with the help of a rope.
At the age of only 21, he can climb any tree without any hesitation, and he is the fastest running player of our Football team and got nice skills in football as well. Now let me show you how fast he climbed it - beyond my imagination.
Very few can do this.
We had to cut them one by one, as they were big.
And I brought the bigger one and left the smaller one for Mom to taste, as this is the first time yield of this tree.
Couple of banana trees, needed support, so had to prepare them and put against the trees.
The price of vegetables in this rainy season is way beyond expectation - free money given by govt has made people sit idle and not do any farming.
Last few from this plant were distributed.
This time, the guava trees have brought some good news - the red variety which is very tasty - Mom has got a golden hand, whatever she plants, grows nicely.
The Jack fruit was ripen in 5-6 days, and he was waiting for it.
With my instructions, he has now got the skills to process it all himself.
Even after wearing a glove, one need to use a little oil, to avoid the sticky stuffs.
This was not tasty like the previous one, but still good. We have few friends in the society, who have permanent request to send some. So the last chunk for this year was gifted - it feels good to give. That is the reason, you see several parcel containers (black colored), that we have bought and kept for these purposes. Unfortunately that trend is slowly dying because people consider it as a burden thinking who will go, they may not be at home, you have to call them before etc etc - many reasons.
The kid was asking this time, if those trees would be there, when his kids would grow so that they can also eat !!!
And now let me present you the last mango of this year - there were actually a lot on this small tree which fruited first time. But then a monkey came one day and grabbed one ( he could take only one as this is very big. So Mom decided to pluck them all, but this one somehow was missed. Probably the monkey also did not come back.....

Wow, that is a big jackfruit. I was initially thinking that you can make a long pole with a net to get it, but it looks too heavy to do that. It's nice that you were able to find someone capable and willing to climb and get the fruit.
it was the biggest of this year.
That's awesome. Good thing you were able to get it properly.
That looks like one juicy, yummy mango!
It's so good that u can pass down that to your son, and he will pass it on also.. 👊😉✌️
Looks like u will have a keeper of the trees always there..
That one was massive! Great to see your son bucking the trend of just wanting pizzas and burgers and have fresh healthy food!
We have many jackfruit trees and are lucky to eat jackfruit every day and it is my favorite and we have jackfruit very sweet. Hope you enjoyed the moments from picking the jackfruit tree to eating it.
jackfruit has immense health benefits.
Wow, what a huge fruit! How many people can eat from that?
Still haven't tried jackfruit :( but now that I'm in Brasil I expect I'll get the chance to eat it soon
It's so tasty...if you like sweet stuffs.
How great to see such huge steals in your plant, dear friend @sanjeevm and best of all that you have found a person capable of climbing so high to lower it. What great ability this job has
Thank you very much for sharing this experience
have a beautiful afternoon
I love the mango, it looks very green and fresh. Is good your child demanded for something natural and not all these chocolates and cookies
Thank you so much.
It's amazing how traditional practices and skills are being passed down. The jackfruit story reminds me of my own childhood hahaha Great read and so happy to see this big brother
This is a nice adventure for the kid I bet. That's a really hard to climb tree for just anyone.
Fruits are really good way to help keep us healthy instead of going the burger and pizza route that has plaqued the society of today.
So true, unless the kids understand the implications.
You have big jackfruit there. Do not throw away the seeds and they can be delicious boiled jackfruit seeds :)
Well, the mango made me craving :)
This was the first yield, hopefully we will have a lot more next year.
jackfruit seeds are very tasty and we use them to the fullest, in curries.
The fact that he requested you to bring some natives is really good. The truth is that it is even better and healthier than the pizzas and Ice cream we eat
Natural things are better
Everything you harvest from your garden at home is excellent, friend, but the interesting thing is that the Jack fruit is nothing like any of the ones we have here in Venezuela, but the others are the same, as are the mangoes and guavas.
I’m glad your kid is trying to take something natural and not just the regular pizza or shawarma other people eat. This plant will have so many nutrients that your child can benefit from
Also, I love those bananas up there
They look very fresh
What a great post, it is really important that the little ones also know and value these fruits, here we also have mango and guava season. These fruits look great.

Wow! That jackfruits are huge. It's quite a task to get them out of the trees and prepare them. I've never tasted one before. I'm really curious what they taste like.

Those mighty fruit are almost godlike in their features.

I actually remembered vividly eating this fruit growing up. It is always juicy and always worth having a taste of any single time
Excellent is the wide variety of fruits that you have in your patio and you can enjoy them. One question: Can Jack fruit be soaked in natural juice and eaten as is?
What's nice is that you have fruit that you can pick yourself, and not like us who buy at the market and you also have bananas, congratulations, good for you, I believe that this is some fruit and that it is delicious, this is the first time I see this and I don't know what it is
