Last week, Doc Rey brought home from the farm a small basket of Green Mangoes. Next day I asked that is be peeled and made into buro. I was told that they were yellow and ripe already. Went to the kitchen, as I can't believe those were to be ripe already.
Very well ripe and perfect eating stage! Sweetest I have had in a long time too! No fibers that get caught in-between your teeth. It was smooth, chewy, juicy, tangy and sweet....best part, no chemicals were used to have the tree induce flowering, nor was chemicals used to hasten ripening. Good thing I thought about buro, if not, we would have waited for it to turn yellowish and will be to late to appreciate it.
At the farm this morning, I asked to be shown the tree. Oh yes, I got several of these varieties.
Short nor small things don't appeal to me. Well, OK, I can get it working and use it to my advantage. The height of the tree makes it very easy to trim and havest the fruits :)
And see how perfect the shade was for the Apples, or rather the Mangoes, of the farm's eyes.
That mango tree serves as a perfect shade for the sunshines comfortably roaming/resting below... But then it may take me at least 5 years to grow such tree... I'll start planting anyway...
ReplyDeleteHeto pala Ma'am 'yung mga inalagaan kong Sunshines last Oct na binili ko sa Agrilink.
ReplyDeleteThirty lang ang binili ko kaso pag-dating ko 29 na lang sabi ng caretaker ko. Malakas sila. Walang mortality at pare-pareho ang bigat nila!
Nilagay ko lang sila sa ilalim ng aking kambingan.

ReplyDelete@ trebor, para walang pressure, tanim lang ng tanim...halaman man or good deeds. Before you know it, may mga prutas na pala....at masarap pa kasi hindi hinaluan at pinilip sa panahon :)
ReplyDeleteKung literally tayong fruit trees at hindi good deeds, madami namang nabibili na magandang varieties. Yung mabilis mamunga at mababa lang ang mga puno.
Lapit na ulit Agrilink :)
