On the way to work, there are mango trees and I can see lots of mangoes in the trees. They are so lovely. The trees are tall and there are many leaves. They are suitable in the sunny weather. So if I could have a tree, I hope to have a mango tree. At least I can have a lot of mangoes in summer

Maybe i am too greedy.I want to have fruit trees whatever is Ok.The more the better.I love to eat fruit,but now with the inflation,the price of the fruits is increasing.It spends more money to buy fruit.Especially in the city,the price is more higher than country.so if i have a garden,i prefer to have fruit trees than flowers. From spring to winter,every season i also can eat the right time fruits.It is must be happy.In the summer,reading under the tree in the shadow must be wonderful.maybe i can have a swing.

No, it seems that the green mangoes are not mature, and we don't eat them Perhaps there is another kind of mango which is different

I would like to have a rambutan tree. It's a seasonal fruit tree that produce small and sweet fruits. I love these fruits. There are really delicious. These fruits comes in red or yellow color and the tree can grow into quite a big tree. Gives good shades...

I would really love to have a PAPAYA TREE in my house..not a difficult job.. i can grow one.. but the difficulty is as the tree grows in height.. i can't pluck the fruits, and moreover it can't withstand the gusty winds blowing at times here.. All i do is to ..mmm.. okay... i will come out with the truth.. "is try to stop mouth-watering.. when i see someone eating papaya fruit.

I wonder whether the papaya is different in your side. Here the papaya tree isn't very tall. Perhaps it's no more than 1.6M.
• India
14 Jun 08
Its is the very same breed, but the papaya trees grow here more than 15 feet. I had one tree in my house, long time back.. it went up to a height more than 20 feet.. The irony.. is the tree could not withstand its own weight and the fruits in it.,, and it came crashing down..one day..when we were all fast asleep..with a big thud.

grape - my father-in-law planted some grape in his flower vase and every year we can have some grapes.
Good morning, dear youless. You are lucky to live in a place where you can see mango trees, but I have never seen a mango tree, nor do I know what it looks like though I have eaten some mangoes. Well, my father-in-law planted some grape in his flower vase and every year we can have some grapes. He planted it in his balcony and it helps keep the hot sun from getting into the apartment, making us feel cooler in summer. Besides, grapes are easy to plant for city people who have no land for them.

The grape is nice. I wonder whether it can grow the grapes so that you can enjoy it much more? In the past in my old house we also had the grape in our balcony. It did have grapes but they were sour

I am so sorry that they were sour, but it is very important to have some good grape seeds. Those in my parents-in-law's balcony are sweet. They bear grapes every year. It has been there for almost ten years now. Maybe the older, the sweeter? lol. Good day, youless.

I love all kinds of trees, i REALLY love trees, which is weird I guess but it's my thing in life that I like a lot! I have always wanted a weeping willow tree. I have never lived anywhere that has one, and I think if I were to find the right house that had one I would have to buy it, lol. They are just so pretty. They need to have marshy/swampy land to grow though, so it wouldn't be a good idea for me to try and plant it. I'd also like an avocado tree. I almost grew one once, they take 7 years to grow and it made it 3 years before finally dying one winter (even though I had moved it inside, I think it wasn't the right thing to do and we don't have the right climate here) I've always kind of thought it would be cool to have a lemon tree and apple trees are nice also (real apple trees though, not just the crab apple trees I have growing in my yard!) Olive trees are also pretty, too and i wouldn't mind having one of those either. The weirdest tree I've ever seen though that I would like to have is a daisy tree. It is excatly what it sounds like - a small little tree but daisies are growing from the branches in addition to the leaves. I never saw anything like that before and wish I would have bought it when I saw it because I've never seen one again since.

I hope i can have a apple tree in my yard.hehe, i think it is more convenient to taste the first apple in summer if i did have my own one.That is wonderful. The important ponit is when the tree hangs a of of appleson its body.They must make up a very beautiful scenery for watching.Yeah.that is the thing i really wanted .

I would also like to have a mango tree in my future backyard someday... i also love mangoes... and to have one everyday is like heaven... i would also like to have my very own Narra tree... this is the national tree of my country... and the most expensive furniture are made from this tree...
@youless (112123)

You are right. Narra is a kind of expensive wood. Perhaps it needs to grow more years then make it to a furniture.

Like you,I perfer some trees that will have fruit in special season,apple trees,pineapple trees,grape trees,and so on. what's more,I prefer willow trees for some special reason.I'm from China,and in Chinese culture willow trees have too much meaning and sensibility in it.

youless_ Hi. Is it okay if I don't pick a fruit tree? I don't want to go out on a limb or anything Can I have a willow tree? My dad planted a beautiful one outside my window when I was a little girl. When I went off to college, he had the tree cut down!

Well currently I am staying in an apartment which leaves no room for any tree growing..LOL but if I were to have a landed house in future with a garden big enough to grow a tree, I would like to grow a durina tree. Reason : I get to eat the fruit and also sell the harvest. Ey good money selling durian over here.

What a special choice to have a durian tree I like it but some people don't like it because of its terrible smell.
