Three or four times a year, the men climb my 7 tall palm trees to trim the fruiting stems and spray for palm beetle. They use a tall ladder, then have to climb up the rest of the way and suspend themselves as they chop free the huge palm fronds. They are efficient and work beautifully in groups of six—three at a time up in the trees, the others gathering what falls and carrying the shed fronds out to their truck that grinds them up into compost. They have been tending my trees for 22 years now, and every time, it is a pleasure to watch. When they leave, every bit of litter that has fallen down from the trees has been cleared, and the pool is pristine.

Such a swift work these men do. In Southern India, men can climb up coconut trees without a harness and come down as if they are sliding but in control. Thanks for sharing Judy. Can you share where was this? Which part of the world I mean?
Looking forward to seeing you soon in the next edition.

I live in San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, Mexico. I’m on a mountain above the largest lake in Mexico, temperate climate, about 45 minutes from Guadalajara.
When I was in Bali, staying at a pension near the river in Ubud, every morning young men would climb the coconut palms to cut coconuts for our breakfast. It was amazing.
