- Just take a look at all of that Greenery and imagine sitting at one of those tables and being served African palm wine and a nice soup
- Close your eyes and imagine walking on that power in an atmosphere that is heavily scented with the Cashew fragrance…
Earlier this year, I moved to the country’s Capital; Abuja.I don’t know if you have ever experienced what it feels like to live in a Fruit orchard;
- The fragranced walkways
- The cool evening breezes
- The abundance of fruits; in season and out of season
- The shedding of leaves, the sprouting of new ones and so on
Sometime ago, a long time ago, I visited Florida, you did not have to be told that; “Florida was the orange city of the USA!” Like; people even had the orange on their car plate numbers.
If ever people living in the Federal Capital territory; Abuja were to incorporate something on their number plates, it will be Cashews! 
There are Cashew plants on every living space; on the hills, the mountains, by the road sides, undeveloped land sites, etc!
There are other fruits here like; Mango (of different species! of a fact, it is the Cashew’s running mate), Jackfruit, Pawpaw, oranges (all species; tangerine, grape, lemon, sweet orange, etc), Pineapple, Banana, Plantain, guava, Pear, etc.
The Marriage of Man and Nature
So, there was this beautiful bar I visited; La Vida Local, that incorporates nature, mainly the Cashew plants into the liveliness of the bar and called it; The Green Arena of the Bar, the Cashew trees has all sorts of paintings and graffiti on them.
It was such a beautiful place that instantly lifted my mood!
Is there a dominant fruit species in the area you live?
Have you had a Cashew?
The red is the sweetest by the way, the nut left after the succulent part is eaten is processed as cashew nuts.
(the tyres used) and ecological preservation. It’s an amazing green
