It bears many fruits!

We gave this lone guava tree in our lawn. This tree has been here for decades and was even nearly uprooted in last year's typhoon. But it bears so many guavas and they are sweet.
A palm tree near our mango tree also has many fruits. There is a belief that when trees bear many fruits, the family who owns the trees will also have good and productive lives.
There are so many beliefs and practices that some people accept. It won't hurt anyway if we believe them.

@tech40 it is not a subdivision. i live in a barangay, but the neighbors, the original neighbors, know each other.

I have never heard of that before belief before.
In my childhood home we had three guava trees and they bore fruit as big as a new born baby's head. We also had coconut trees and Indian mango tree.

@ridingbet I don't know what kind of guava that was but the trees were too small but the fruit were extremely big.

@toniganzon maybe that guava came from other countries? or a cross-breed with the guapple?

oh, wow, maybe you have the guapple type. of it has the size of a newborn's head, then that is so big guava fruit. we had coconut trees before; they were planted by my siblings, but then, that deadly coconut beetle caused the coconuts' fruits to get rotten. now, the coconut trees are cut down.

Wow, that is so nice that you have a guava tree in your yard that bears many. 
I remember when I was about 12 years old, my sister and I would always go on the roof of our grandfather's storeroom because the guava tree has many fruits and it is covering the roof of the tree. I love guavas.
Sadly now, it's gone.

@ridingbet A bit ripe would be my choice, dipped in spicy vinegar. I remember my lips turning pale because of the vinegar.

indeed, we have to trust in positivities. we have no more mango trees in front of our house, but at the back. guava trees grow at the back as well. this guava tree is the only one alive here in front of our house.

@FayeHazel it is rich in vitamin C, in fact, even richer than any citrus fruits.

@ridingbet Thanks for the picture - I don't think I've ever had one. Maybe I will check at the grocery store and try it

@ridingbet That's cool! I have had guava "flavored" stuff before (juice drinks) -- but never the actual fruit. To be honest, wasn't a big fan of the flavor, but sometimes the flavor of the "real" thing is much nicer. I will see if our grocery stores have them and try it
