Backyard fruit trees in coastal barangays. In Zamboanguita, the coastal town south of Dumaguete, home of the Wednesday Malatapay market and the Apo Island boats. Backyard and smallholder fruit rather than commercial orchards — mango, guava, santol, duhat, rambutan, calamansi depending on the month. What’s piled at roadside stalls at any given time is what’s actually ripe nearby, which is the plainest way to read the season.
