Himalayan Kothi Blossom

This time of the year is a beautiful time to enjoy the Kothi with all the fruit trees in there first stage of pregnancy . The orchard trees are all laden with white and pink flowers which are the first stage of the fruit bearing of the trees . The blossoms are the ideal time for all the bees to flutter and gather all the nectar for there honey production . This is the time of natural pollination where the male and female varieties cross pollinate to provide us the fruit . How nature has balanced the essence of male and feminine to come together to provide us with magic of pure love .

The apple orchard farming was introduce by my great grand father and our village was named after the local name of Apple called Seu from where comes the name of our native village Seubagh meaning the the orchard of Apple . The coming of Apple has changed the economy of our local people . It has transformed the lives of people of our part of the region and brought about prosperity of the people dependent on agro economy .

Early spring is when the apple tree’s season of growth starts. The tree begins to grow new branches and leaves at this stage. The buds and branches start to sprout as the foliage expands. 

When the buds blossom, flowers are created. Pollen is produced by the flower’s stamen and stored inside the bloom till it gets out for pollinating.

Bees and other pollinators that eat the sweet nectar of flowers are the main insects that carry out the act of pollination.

The pollen that comes from the flower adheres to the pollinators as they eat, and as they go from blossom to flower, the pollen is transmitted to the outermost part of the blooms. 

The egg-like structures in the petals are fertilized by pollen when pollination is finished, and the apple tree bloom starts to produce seeds.

This is a small narrative of how the formation of the fruit of Apple begins , through the months the development from seed to fruit is experienced on the tree and for nature lovers a different and unique experience . The season of fruit harvest is another experience for experiential travelers
