It\u2019s no secret that a plum tree takes about 13 years before bearing its first fruits. Yet, I had to wait to turn 17 for ours to finally bear its first and only fruit: a small juicy plum. A small plum we each only got a tiny bite of since all six of us absolutely had to sample it. A small plum that left us wanting more.<\/p>\n<p>I am not close to forgetting that first frustrating experience with that tree. That summer, we spent hours scrutinizing the tree in hopes of spotting at least a second fruit. We tried to be as thorough as possible in our search. Thing is, on top of being stingy, this tree is also good at hiding its bearings or carrying them on its top branches. An unripe plum is as green as a leaf. It is thus near impossible to spot a blooming one unless it starts ripening acquiring different shades of pink.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2832\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/the-stingy-plum-tree\/homegrown-plum-haiti-prune-tchakayiti\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/homegrown-plum-haiti-prune-tchakayiti.jpg?fit=1200%2C1800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;All rights reserved.
