If you go 360 degree on poking it, then it will resulted a not good nut meaning that the nut will makes you more dizzy when eating it. Sure the tree can be climbed but with no one volunteered to get it then the easiest way to get it by just using the bamboo stick. I think apple tree has more branches to cling on to when getting the fruit, but this nut..you have to gain the monkey climbing skill to get it. We prefer the remote way tho ..*grins*FJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502308329952546111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019091177411363625.post-51980608645012999062009-08-15T11:23:46.287+08:002009-08-15T11:23:46.287+08:00Lili11,

But they aren't nearly as high up as your tree! I do love avocados but have no experience with the 'nut'...it sounds fascinating!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019091177411363625.post-31101644344667890722009-08-13T21:29:13.595+08:002009-08-13T21:29:13.595+08:00Do you really eat the betel nut?

Sure sometimes I experienced sort of dizziness when eating one, but ours is a good pinang. Normally she just buys the pinang from the market but in my place she could eat as many as she like. Yes the keladi is that big, and it could wrap little kids with its leaves..heheFJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502308329952546111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019091177411363625.post-47229562657812628332009-08-04T01:00:02.856+08:002009-08-04T01:00:02.856+08:00Nice Mom....

Betel nut is just my occasional 'chewing gum', when mum is around then only I will have the interest to eat it.FJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502308329952546111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019091177411363625.post-38278025487963114092009-08-03T15:49:43.585+08:002009-08-03T15:49:43.585+08:00FJL, the avocado look so good!

Eating only the betel nut will not makes your saliva red but only a bit dizzy on the head hehe. The red saliva is caused by eating it with gambir and daun sirih. I didnt master that yet and not intending too. lolFJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502308329952546111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019091177411363625.post-65200717721760271722009-08-02T09:37:24.952+08:002009-08-02T09:37:24.952+08:00The avocado will be great for making california ro...The avocado will be great for making california roll sushi.
