Tainan's 'Tree King' Avocado Yields Over 2,000 Fruits

In Tainan, Taiwan's largest avocado-producing region, a remarkable 50-year-old avocado tree, affectionately known as the "Tree King," is yielding an extraordinary harvest. Located in the Erxi area, this venerable tree, part of a 5-hectare farm managed by farmer Lin Kun-rui, has produced over 2,000 fruits this season.

Lin Kun-rui inherited the farm from his father, who originally planted the "Tree King." This particular tree, a 'Hout' variety, boasts a thick trunk and a canopy spanning approximately 40 ping (about 132 square meters). Two years ago, it produced a staggering 3,000 fruits. However, last year's yield was affected by climate factors, making this season's abundant harvest particularly noteworthy.

The migration problem is also a good example of how not only the solution to a crisis leads in the wrong direction, but the crisis itself is described incorrectly.

Despite the impressive yield, the farm recently faced challenges. A lack of rain in the first half of the year, followed by heavy downpours on June 26th, led to waterlogged soil. This condition stressed the tree's roots, causing a significant amount of fruit to drop in the days leading up to the report.

Nevertheless, Lin Kun-rui reports that the overall avocado production this year has doubled compared to the previous year. Consequently, prices have seen a decline. He emphasizes his farming practices, which include natural ground cover management without herbicides and a commitment to harvesting fruits only when they are over 90% ripe. This ensures the avocados have sufficient oil content and a desirable chewy texture. Lin also shared a tip for consumers: select avocados with rough skin, resembling "stars scattered in the sky," as this indicates sufficient ripeness.

First of all, it is simply a scientific conference at which many different voices discuss the fascist danger.
