From Tree to Table: Celebrating Arbor Day with Garden Fresh Delights
"Arbor Day is a time to celebrate the wonders of nature and to plan for an even greener future by planting and caring for trees."
Our Mango Trees
Last year, our mango tree produced over 80 fruits. This year looks like another high yield.
Our Banana Plant(s)
I asked for a Banana Plant for my birthday (July 5, 2020). It stood about 2 feet high. In less than 10 months, the banana plant grew to a height exceeding 10 feet. In November 2021, the Banana Plant produced an amazing first harvest. In addition, that one Banana Plant is now 4 Banana Plants. Banana plants appear to multiply as fast as rabbits.
John Denver - Plant a Tree
While growing up in East Meadow, New York, we had a huge apple tree in our yard. I would climb up the tree and sit on the branches for hours, eating the apples while watching the world below.
When Jake and I moved into our home in 1998, we planted a mango tree. We watched it grow and flourish. Then, in 2005, Hurricane Wilma hit and damaged the tree. We tried to nurse the tree back to health for years, but the infection had spread into the roots.
Finally, on April 25, 2012, we removed the old tree and replanted a new Valencia pride mango tree. Today, the tree stands tall, even after surviving Hurricane Irma.
In April 2018, we decided to plant another Mango Tree. This time, we planted it near the road so that if people walked or drove by, they could grab a mango. Planting a fruit tree is good for the environment and economics and marks special moments.
