Wonderfull Winter is Almost Gone!

2/2/2015

0 Comments

 
Less than a month ago we wrote how wonderfull winter is in Hawaii: it's a break from the heat in the summer, it gets cooler at night [low 60s], and it's when many fruit and nut trees start flowering. Right now, for example, the mango, some citrus, the macnut, some avocados, and a couple other types of trees have flowers on them - woo hoo! If they don't all fall off, we might get quite a few mangoes and avocados this fall - yes!

However, it seems as though winter has mostly left us. It's up to 82 degrees in the shade, and the nights are getting a bit warmer [mid-60s]. I miss winter already! At least, winter in Hawaii! :)

Today was coconut palm fronds trimming day

2/2/2015

It's amazing how it seems not that long ago when we planted some coconut trees and it seemed like it took them a very long time to grow. Now they are sometimes too tall to reach the higher fronds without a ladder - wow!

Sometimes the fronds hit up against a neighboring tree, and it if happens to be a fruit tree, then we would rather the palm frond not 'beat the fruit tree to death' so the fronds need to be cut off the tree. There are several coconut trees, as well as several fruit trees that they are affecting, so trimming the coconut palm trees takes much more time than it used to, and also sometimes requires a ladder - our little trees are growing up! That's great news, as it means it is more likely we will get more coconuts, but it's also more challenging and time-consuming to trim the trees now. Oh well...

We also picked up over 6 five-gallon buckets of limes that were just laying underneath the lime tree and composting. Whoa! We wish we could send you all our extra limes! The lime tree is very prolific and we never lack limes! Trimming the lime tree is also very pleasant because the lime branches, unlike most citrus and other trees, produce a very strong lime aroma -mmmmmmm! So, it's a treat to actually trim the lime tree - such a yummy scent! Thanks lime tree!
