Prune Time

Finally I plugged all the mangoes from mangoey. Right after harvesting the last fruit, I gave it a prune. The height reduced about 1 foot and the diameter should be around half a foot smaller after the pruning exercise.

Not just Mangoey had a trim, my ciku too! and more vigorous! The little mango in a pot also had the same fate. I am waiting to harvest the longan before pruning the longan tree.

In total, we obtained about 6 kilograms of mango this year, 50 % more than last year! In terms of the number of fruit, it is many times more than last year but because of heavy fruiting, the fruits were smaller.

Longan Still Fruiting

After 4 months since the first flowers were seen on my langan tree many more fruits are still in the size of a ~1 cm in diameter. Although we have tested the 4 fruits last week, the rest just seem to be too long to wait. The rippened fruits were big (as last year's) and sweet. The arome was fantastic! Unfortunately the tree can't produce too many fruit. I guess it is because the tree is still young. There are more fruit to come but the quantity is almost the same as last year.
