Grateful to share a new post here with the #hivegarden community, where I'm showing you a plum tree. I won't tell you that we planted it, because it didn't happen that way. Instead, when we were helping our neighbor put up a barbed wire fence to separate their property from ours, we buried some plum trees in the ground to help stretch the wire. And to my surprise, since I'm rarely there, I saw how that one of those branches transformed into a tree and is already bearing fruit. It's truly a blessing to be able to share these photos with all of you.

Most of the fruit sprouted on that side of the property; only a few branches are on this side. But one important detail to note is that my dad planted several banana trees on our side of the property some time ago, which definitely makes it a little difficult to see the plum tree. So you have to get a little closer, and that's where you can see the fruit of what is now a plum tree more clearly.

This fruit definitely reminds me of my childhood, since my grandmother had a large one at her house where we always ate a lot of them. A neighbor even built a fence with several plum tree trunks because they don't rot over the years; with a little luck, you can enjoy many benefits. It's a plant that doesn't depend solely on seeds to grow, but also from branches of other plants, and it doesn't need much watering. It's certainly a great help when you need to do some work, and you can also enjoy its fruit later on.

As you can see, friends of #hivegarden, sometimes plants can have other functions, but nature definitely does its job and allows us to enjoy fruits we never imagined. Now, a question: do you know of any other plants that can fulfill this function and also grow from branches without any special care.
