Other Permanent Residents

Other than durian and rambutan, I also planted one or two each of other permanent trees i.e. mangosteen, mango, ciku and jambu. We also have existing fruit trees that we kept in the farm, i.e duku, langsat (no need dokong eh, Aida/Ani?), kuini and rambai.


My favorite fruit - mangosteen! Bought in Balok Pasar Tani - Sooo slowww growing - slower than durian... This is the Thailand (again) variety - thinner skin and so sweet (the sales man say la...)




First shoots coming out - only after almost 6 months... Sabar je la...



Jambu, from Balok Pasar Tani - Not so keen to plant this one as I was made to understand that the jambu requires special attention and chemicals to get the sweet fruits like sold in the fruit stall. Otherwise, the fruit is bitter and fall off early - before it ripe properly.



Ciku from Agri Expo - Thailand variety (and again...) which is claimed to bear fruit earlier and sweeter than the Malaysian variety...




Duku! The 2nd batch since we work on the farm. The first batch of fruits were gone overnight when a group of bats partied all night long... I remember my late uncle would go to the kebun in the evening and hang the "pelita" on the tree to keep the bats away... I am thinking of hanging the blinking lights and make the big x-mas (duku) tree hahahah...
