Rambutan tree not dead yet!

My rambutan tree, young shoots sprouting...so, Alhamdulillah, my rambutan tree has not died! InshaAllah, looking forward to more rambutan fruits...  

But then, it will be quite a while before my rambutan tree can provide shade in our compound... Perhaps need to put more organic fertilizer to speed growth!! Fertilizer from my farm...cowdung!!

My Rambutan Tree - Fruitless!

My three sons together with my husband's two workers, trimmed our rambutan tree on 2nd January 2012.  We managed to collect all the ripen rambutans and gave it to our neighbours.

The two jackfruit trees were also trimmed but our three palm trees were chopped down.  Now, our house compound is visible to all...... I could also view my neighbours' houses from my bedroom window....  Well, I hope all the trees will not die...but continue to grow and bear fruits too.....InshaAllah.

My Rambutan Tree....its fruits

These are my rambutans, almost ripe....but still can be eaten....ohhhh soooo sweet although the skin still not red enough.  Anyway, darling hubby plucked some for me...and he sliced open a rambutan, and fed me.... aiyaaaaa.....so sweet my larling hubby....(makes the rambutan all the more sweeter....hehehe....)

Ooopssss...again forgot to take picture of rambutan flesh....next time lah!

Little Bird from the Rambutan Tree

This little bird was pecking on my window pane...thus awoke me from my afternoon nap...Then I took these pictures...after which, it flew away.... wonder what bird this is.....

My Rambutan Tree

(another close up of the whole tree...)

The only rambutan tree in my compound is now heavy with almost ripe fruits.  Perhaps it will be fully ripe by next week.  But then, I have started plucking the almost red rambutans (could not resist its beckoning....) to eat its..oh so sweet...flesh.....

Aiyaaa!!! Should have taken a few pictures before I ate it just now... Now its raining heavily so no chance to pluck the rambutans and snap some pictures of the fruits itself! Now the rambutan fruits are all wet.....
