Around 19 tropical cyclones or storms enter the Philippine Area Of Responsibility in a typical year and of these usually 6 to 9 make landfall. This is just an average yearIs it just me, or is this a extra busy year?

My real goal is to be able to live as cheaply but richly as possible with the resources we have within our grasps.
I have the luxury of 2.5 acres of land but the older I get the more I think how crazy it is to have plants that are just decorative. I want dual purpose everything. If you have the ability to chose, why have a pretty shrub when you can have a pretty shrub that also is edible by me or my animals? Why have a shade palm when you can have a pygmy coconut tree?
And why not use the land you have to grow animal that can give you pleasure to look at as well as the satisfaction of cooking?
The Tilapia would be perfect addition to the plan but to teach Bernie and to expect Bernie to take on another food group may be too much. When I am home I will talk with the Ag College about an intern to help Bernie. Then we can talk about pigs and fish.

Here is a write up on mangos
From other sources Mangos grown from seed take six to ten years to bear fruit. ANd the tree itself can live up to 300 years and still bear fruit. Oh and they get 120 feet tall.
I personally want as many kinds of citrus as will live in my climate.... Tangerines, Lemons, limes, Some Oranges Kumquats. My experience is in citrus. Avocados dont take frost so they wouldn't live in my neck of the woods. Of course I also want Figs apples and peaches and nectarines..... I dont have long enough frost for some varieties but others do quite well....
I also want to espalier my Citrus to make them a living hedge/barrier for people. Most Citrus has some pretty respectable thorns.
I did not know that citrus had thorns!!Mangos need zone 11 to live outside.... thats pretty much Hawaii.
