An Old Monkey protecting Its Durians





Here's the latest about my fruits. That's me on a durian tree in my Bekenu land, after tying a rope (hardly visible  in the picture) from the branch to the main trunk, to prevent the branch from sagging further and collapsing from the weight of the growing durians. There are about 50 durians on this branch alone. They should mature in about a month's time if the monkeys--the furry kind, I mean--don't destroy them before then. More than a dozen of my durian trees are fruiting but none as prolific as this particular tree. Most trees have only between 15 to 20 fruits. I am expecting to share them with friends nearby and maybe some who are not so nearby if they can come by to claim them..
