He is now confident to be able to handle it himself
Last time when I brought the jack fruit from my native, I only had to make sure to make it ready to eat, after cutting it, and bringing out. It's good that he loves the taste as well as texture ( modern kids are more behind pizzas / burgers, my own daughter does not like it), so he requested me to bring some from the native. Once the rain starts, the taste of Jack fruit fades, so I told him, this would be the last of this year. We had one tree at the backwards, having two Jack fruits at such high that, they were left over, as there was no way, we could get them.
I tried to put a ladder, but it didn't go that far. And there are no strong branch (as this is a new one evolved over last decade), which I could stick to and climb to the top. So I decided to seek some help from our Football team. And to my surprise, we have someone who can climb the trees better than a monkey - some amazing skills. Next morning, I made the utilities ready.
There was no way, one could cut and bring it down by hand, so it had to be cut and slowly released down inside a bag, with the help of a rope.
At the age of only 21, he can climb any tree without any hesitation, and he is the fastest running player of our Football team and got nice skills in football as well. Now let me show you how fast he climbed it - beyond my imagination.

Very few can do this.
We had to cut them one by one, as they were big.
And I brought the bigger one and left the smaller one for Mom to taste, as this is the first time yield of this tree.
Couple of banana trees, needed support, so had to prepare them and put against the trees.
The price of vegetables in this rainy season is way beyond expectation - free money given by govt has made people sit idle and not do any farming.
Last few from this plant were distributed.
This time, the guava trees have brought some good news - the red variety which is very tasty - Mom has got a golden hand, whatever she plants, grows nicely.
The Jack fruit was ripen in 5-6 days, and he was waiting for it.
With my instructions, he has now got the skills to process it all himself.
Even after wearing a glove, one need to use a little oil, to avoid the sticky stuffs.
This was not tasty like the previous one, but still good. We have few friends in the society, who have permanent request to send some. So the last chunk for this year was gifted - it feels good to give. That is the reason, you see several parcel containers (black colored), that we have bought and kept for these purposes. Unfortunately that trend is slowly dying because people consider it as a burden thinking who will go, they may not be at home, you have to call them before etc etc - many reasons.
The kid was asking this time, if those trees would be there, when his kids would grow so that they can also eat !!!
And now let me present you the last mango of this year - there were actually a lot on this small tree which fruited first time. But then a monkey came one day and grabbed one ( he could take only one as this is very big. So Mom decided to pluck them all, but this one somehow was missed. Probably the monkey also did not come back.....
