The Lanzones Picker

Hello Everyone, here I am again for another weekend activity that we do here in the province. Fruit trees in our yard are now starting to have mature fruits, so it's now time to pick them before another typhoon destroys them.

This time it's our Lanzones tree that needs picking. This needs to be climbed since we cannot pick it fruits using bamboo since its more delicate compare to other fruits in our yard , the rambutan for example that it's ok for it to fall in the ground.

I tried if I still can lift my body and be able to climb the tree. When up
in the tree I need to twist and split just to have a comfortable spot to get those fruits. This tree has a slim and slender branches making it harder to find the right position before start picking.

I took with me a basket tied in a rope in my waste so that I can easily use it to store the fruits that I will be picking. This also makes it easier to put it down to the ground after picking.

So after a few twist and turns. I was able to more than half of the bag, just enough to consume for the weekend. So here are my niece and nephew waiting for the bag full of Lanzones. I know they are to eager to taste it.

And that's it for another weekend activity here in the province. This activities makes us more appreciate what nature can give to us.

Thanks again for joining me, I hope you enjoyed watching my photos climbing, have a good day, see you in the next one!
