This is taken in the evening of 19 August 2021. Where I spotted 3 fruit buds to my mengkudu (noni) plant.
Replant it from container to a land space last 6 November 2020 [1]. Basically it took 9 months and 14 days to start producing fruit buds. Seems like it is a wise decision to replant it on a land space.
Till then, have fun in planting mengkudu (noni) plant at your house compound.

I happened to come across this song while watching The Voice Germany. I do feel that the way Marina Mast sing similar to singer Anastacia Lyn Newkirk . Just loving the upbeat song melody.
Song lyrics:
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
My friends had you figured out
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
You tried hiding another you
But your evil was coming through
These eyes sitting on the wall
They watch every move I make
Bright light living in the shade
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
And that's when my love was burning
Yeah, it's still burning
[2x:]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
Each time that I think you're gone
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
Guess I love living in the sin
Oh you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
Truth is that I never learn
[2x:]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Stop the haunting baby
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
No more haunting baby
I keep going to the river
[2x:]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
Get video update of fruiting longan brazil plant from my customer last 16 June 2021. Basically it took exactly 4 years, 2 months, 14 days for the plant to start bear fruits. My customer very happy since the fruit is huge in size.
Below is the video from my customer.
The plant received by my customer last 3 April 2017 [1].
I also have advised my customer accordingly steps that need to be taken for better fruiting next fruiting cycle. It is one of the after sales and services support that I always give to my customer. Among of them is I keep track the date I deliver the plant to them. As people tend to forget time they planted their plants.
