The height of summer is in October, natural signs are very visible in Teak plantation, we can see the leaves dry and fall out, the ground is covered with dry leaves and the soil is no longer visible. Trees have bare trunks and look brownish, only branches and twigs at the top are still green. Nature makes them strong with much sun light.
During the dry season, the air smells of dry leaves and the wind blows with humid air. Not like in Spring, the air is fresh and the wind blows gently.
We need to bring a bottle of water when we check around the plantation, go up and down the hill makes us thirsty & sweaty.
The Durian tree looks healthy with flower buds clustered. Expecting strong before the rain will knock down lush fruit.
In the rainy or summer season, Goldteak plantations are well maintained and cared for, workers sweep dry leaves and clear weeds that interfere with tree growth.
“One day of rain far surpasses a whole year of drought” (Malawian proverb)
