LoL. This is may come as a silly question to many of you! But whatever you think or not, climbing up a tree is neither very difficult nor very easy! It is just a matter of practice. Some of you may think, those who live in the urban areas, may not need to climb up a tree in the whole life. But this thinking may become false some day! Say, you have gone for a visit somewhere in the rural area. There you could see a mango tree or a coconut tree! You may feel temptation to relish the taste of the ripe mango or the tasteful coconut! If if you have a habit to climb up a tree, you may make it yourself. If not, you will need to find someone who can climb up a tree. Or your desire to relish those food items will never be fulfilled! Leave the idea of eating the fruit. You may face some day a ferocious animal! Now you need to climb up a tree to save your life! Can you remember the story of "Two friends and a beer"? I know how to climb up a tree! One of my cousins is very adept in climbing up the tree. I am sharing his photo with you where is is climbing up a coconut tree!

Hi Little_Boy, I've climbed trees during my teenage years, and I think it's easy. Maybe I still can do it; but I'm very sure that I won't be able to climb trees with no branches like coconut trees. And the other thing is, I usually find it easy to climb up, but more difficult to get down!

I cannot climb trees. I never have been able to. I fell from a great height when I was four years old and was knocked unconcious for hours, so it has put me off a little. I cannot even come down from a ladder. I can go up the ladder, but I cannot come back down. I wish I could overcome this, but i do not think I could. My daughters all love to climb up trees. We do not have much fruit on the trees here as it is a colder climate, but we do have apple trees. I would love to have coconut trees and mango trees here in my country. You are very lucky to grow those fruits there.

Oh, man! I NEVER learned how to climb a tree. It's sad, but I remember this one time I had a friend over and we were playing in the backyard, and he climbed a tree and sat on a branch. I had to GO GET this stepladder and get up the tree that way! I don't know why, but I just never learned. And, oh yeah, I can't climb a chainlink fence either...so there goes my career of being chased by the police. Dang. ;)

When I was little I would climb trees like a monkey. This is second nature to me and it might have something to do with the fact that I love bananas. Cheers!!

Yap. you are right. It is the practice, which needs to climb a tree. When you do not have proper training in practice, it will be very tough. If you can not climb the tree logic says you have not ability to taste the mango. But , if you have the wit , then you have the right to taste it.Lol.This also implies when you face a ferocious animal. If have intelligence, you can beat the animal, the dumb stupid creatures. But, intelligent persons are always intelligent,so they will try and train themself in climbing tree before facing the crisis.But climbing a coconut tree is special.
