They surrounded our house when I was growing up. Trunks colored green with streaks of darkest red and covered with light brown bark shot several feet out of some primeval heap of dead trees, leaves and mud. The newest and greenest leaves reached upward toward the skies and flapped in the wind. The brown and dried dead ones waned and delicately hung to the sides of the trunk.

We would cut down the tree and slowly pull it down to ensure that we didn’t bruise the fruit. Once safely on the grass we would cut it further into hands.
