In just four years a cashew tree called “Erik” grew from less than a metre to a tree 5 metres tall in my friend’s garden. For the first two years it was faithfully watered by my small friend Rose. She is in the second picture with her Daddy by the tree. It has already yielded two good crops and is covered in flowers some branches have been trimmed after bearing fruit.
When people take the trouble, this place can be so fertile. I wonder why more people do not chop down their relatively useless Neem trees and grow fruit trees instead?
