The disadvantages
Well i can't really say it has disadvantages unless is being consumed in excess. Like consuming it 5-6 on a daily basis can lead to overconsumption of fibre. And this can cause excess intake of vitamin C that can lead to heartburn, vomiting, heart attack, stomach upset and so many health issues that it can lead to. Which i can't go down in details.
The importance of having it planted at home
Sometimes you will be stressed out and needed some fruit for refreshments that may not be available in your fridge. So you have to go to market to get some for yourself. But when having them planted in your compound it has reduced the stress you need to go through for it.
This my Orange is 2yrs old now and as you can see, is now ready for consumption. When ever i feel to to get some i just go and pluck one and enjoy myself.
It can also help some animal to get shelter on the trees. Most animals like living around people most especially the birds; making nest either on your roof or the trees in your house.
Your own idea is highly recommend thanks for coming around and the support.
