" I planted fruits that bear during the dry season such as sapodilla, plumrose, caimite and

gulab jamun "

always thought this was a dessert dish ( sweet rollrd into a ping pong size ball with syrup ) 

I never had too much of it but ate it jess so..fresh

What does it look like ??

will try to figure out the Guyana equivalent ..

“I planted the area in such a way that even during the dry season when most areas are under siege from fires, fruits are available for everyone. The animals come from far distances when there is a scarcity of fruits during this period. I planted fruits that bear during the dry season such as sapodilla, plumrose, caimite and gulab jamun. The gulab jamun also acts as a wind breaker in these heights.”
Rampersad tells of hunters coming to the plantation to catch the agouti because it is the only place where there is feed for these animals and they are sure to come. He has planted cassava throughout the plantation to ensure the supply of food for the agouti.
Not only do animals benefit from Rampersad’s plantation but visiting students and others who come from far and near receive generously of the fruits available.
Rampersad has planted rows of mahogany where landslides occurred regularly during rain time. These trees have given sturdy roots to hold the soil and to date there have been no more landslides into the valley.
Other trees planted in 1998 that now complement the plantation include tonca bean, balata, chenette, soursop, sugar apple, noni fruit, penny piece, mami apple, banga palm and citrus. This writer tasted tonca bean mango on the plantation for the first time and just couldn’t get enough of it.
Seeing a twin growth of two different species bearing together, this writer asked Rampersad how that was possible.
“People usually say that you can’t plant two different species close together. Well, I planted this mami apple and this portugal in the same hole and just like you would see in the forest, they grow together and bear their respective fruits successfully.
Using his own resources, Rampersad has patrolled and protected this plantation during dry season and rain. He attributes this to his family history of caring for Mother Earth. 
“The Earth is our Mother, It gives us life and it continues to succour us. I grew up in Surrey Village and used to meet fruit trees everywhere I went on my grandparents’ estate. My father worked on the Rapsey Estate in the Heights of Aripo and it was there that I gained my knowledge. I in turn pass on my knowledge to present generations who will do so for generations of the future.”
Already secondary and tertiary
