As some of you know we had a mini tornado in July that chopped off and uprooted some trees. Happy that those chopped off trees have given out new shoots which I least expected. One tree in particular - the star fruit - has given out branches so low that I can now hand pick the fruits whenever they appear. The tree has flowered in abundance.

The tornado did that to us. Even a tree that only had a low lyintg stump is giving out new shoots.

@allknowing This is perfect. It gives the tree a chance to have a longer life.

Its branches were high up and parrots would have a feast on them. Now they are almost touching the ground. There are branches on either side of the tree. like two wings.

I hope the trees will all be ok and produce next season.

It is flowering abundantly. I will be able to see parrots at close quarters.

There area couple a that are only stumps. The roots can be seen and the stumps are merely 1 foot. They all have shoots. I did not expect this.

Do you actually like to eat Starfruit? I always think they don't taste of much at all.

I do not eat them just like that. But the parrots just love them. They can empty the tree. Star Fruit has many medicinal properies. This year I have decided to prepare juice out of them.
