Oranges...Oranges

Oranges,oranges..oranges everywhere. The whole city is overwhelmed with colourful display of golden yellow citrus fruits. Harga? tak tahu - sebab tak pernah beli
Picture at right shows some of the oranges that was given to me by one of the DS - tak larat nak makan. You know lah..my tummy bukan tahan sangat makan limau...

Now, some notes:
Pakistan is famous for its "Kino" variety which is in abundance in the month of December till April. The largest orange growing area is in the provinces of Punjab and NWFP. Picking of citrus fruits is done almost throughout the year. The fruit should be picked when it is fuly ripe. It will not develop taste or sugar in storage after picking. The best method is to pick the individual fruit by holding it in one hand and cutting the stalk with a knife and collecting it into boxes or baskets to avoid injury to the stem. The average yield expected from different types of fruits of various species are 500 to 1000 fruit per tree. Pakistan is blessed with a climate ideally suited to the farming of all kinds of fruits - rich in taste and juicy. Farmers have been developing new varieties of fruit by grafting one exotic variety with other. Kino is very delicious in taste and if treated with proper fungicide and wax and careful handing and storage of Kino at about 4 Degree Centigrade can retain it's freshness until 2 months. Pakistan is one of the few countries in the world where some of the varieties of fruits grown in cool temperate climate such as apples, pears, plums and cherries while in warm temperate climate such as apricots, grapes, pomegranates and melon and in tropical and subtropical climate such as bananas, mangoes, dates, guava and citrus so the fruits are usually available throughout the year.

Now, I am eagerly waiting for the months of Jun and July .....MANGOES....and Pakistan produces the best mangoes "IN THE WORLD" (famous phrase here).
