I love fruit trees and I am always aware when there are fruit trees around. In the main road of our village, there are many fruit trees by the side like mangoes, avocado, cotton fruit and Duhat fruit. The latter is a small fruit like a berry from a big tree. It is really sad to see the fruits falling on the ground that the owner seemed not to care. I asked around and the problem is the picking of the fruit.
When I plant a fruit tree, I see to it that I can pick the fruits. It is useless if the tree grows high and the fruits cannot be harvested properly. I wish that it will be a lesson to those who are planning to plant fruit trees.

I’m sure all them fruits that have fallen from the trees will be eaten by the birds and other wildlife. I can’t imagine much of it goes to waste!
