Shadows Of A Coconut Tree - SMASH 350

It's really amazing how plants can grow and flourish in such a short period. You plant a seed, and before you know it, it's yielding fruit. It's a truly remarkable process, I tell you. I'm sure gardeners amongst us here can agree to this.

I find myself in awe of nature's incredible ability to nurture life. This coconut tree is a testament to this wonder. It is just two years old and is thriving. I could remember when it was still a small sapling plant but now it has grown into a sturdy young tree with thick branches, almost offering shade.

Over the weekend I visited my parents, and seeing how it has grown, I was impressed. I was equally excited to that my parent's efforts towards tending it did not go to waste. During my visits, I often saw Mom meticulously maintaining the surrounding area, ensuring it remained weed-free. She'd even get the house help to remove any grasses that dared to grow nearby. Mom is such an intentional gardener devoted to caring for her crops and plants. The coconut tree is not an exception, and I'm privileged to learn from her, lol.

With the coconut growing at such a rapid pace, I wouldn't be surprised if it starts bearing fruits not too long a time. That would be so amazing. As it matures, it's branches will also provide a lovely and comfortable shaded spot for relaxing during hot afternoons or evenings. Not forgetting the beautiful silhouettes that would often appear. That's an added advantage, hahaha!
