The holidays are over. There are no more parties, and the leftovers have all been eaten. It's time to check the backyard for something to work on.
Time flies during the holidays. I was surprised to see that the jackfruit buds I checked last year have already grown into large fruits.
I checked to see if there were any fruits ready for harvest, and one in particular caught my attention.
This fruit had visible cracks on its surface, and the sweet aroma was overwhelming. It was clear that it was ripe and ready to be picked.
I have one small but significant problem. When I tried to lift the fruit, I found that it weighed around 15 kilos. I was home alone since my brother had gone to work, and if I waited any longer, insects and rodents might feast on the fruit because of the cracks in its surface.
I need to bring the fruit down today without damaging it. So, I checked my available resources and prepared to remove the 15-kilogram fruit from the tree.
I checked for available ropes and found the paracord my brother used for his outdoor activities. I was glad to see that the scaffolding he used to install the solar lights was still sturdy enough to hold my weight. With these resources, I set out to complete the task. I securely tied a loop around the fruit and then tied the other end to a branch of the tree, making sure it was just tight enough to suspend the fruit when it was cut off.
I gently lowered the fruit onto the plastic chair below. I felt proud of myself for completing this task. Afterward, I covered the fruit and waited for my brother to arrive.
When my brother arrived, we brought the fruit inside. Since we couldn't eat it all at once and it might spoil if we kept it in the fridge, we decided to cut it into three portions: one for our aunt, one for his father-in-law, and one for our household.
That's all for now! Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Hello @day1001 how are you?
It's incredible that this tree has produced such a large fruit, how great that you were able to get it down.
Have a beautiful day
Our Jackfruit tree always bears big fruits. That was the first time I took a fruit down. Usually it's my brother who does it but he was not around that time. Thanks for dropping by !BBH !PIZZA

Wow, this one is so big!
I don't know how old this tree is but I mostly have seen thicker jackfruit trees so compared to them this one looks younger and still bears a lot of fruits. I am sure it must have been very exciting to harvest and eat such a fresh fruit.
Yes, this tree is just young but I'm glad that it already started bearing fruits and big ones too. Thank you for dropping by !BBH
How many years to taste fruit if I plant the seed today?
It's around 3 to 5 years bro. I saw in one of your videos that you were clearing a large area of land. I think you can plant Jackfruit trees among others.
It was my mother who planted it. I told her that I was planning to cut it down to give more space to the Avocado which was already bearing fruits that time. I'm glad she said no !BBH
WOW! that's about what we wait for an avocado, so to me that is not bad, even "fast" for a fruit tree!
Yes I have been thinking of jack, my wife found a farm near mariquitia with jackfruit and ate some.... brought some seeds home!
All the best to your farming and gardening. You will have an orchard in no time as you have your better half working with you !BBH
