  And I thought it was my zaboca tree that didn't bear this year. I suppose it is a supply and demand thing but zaboca could be $100, I ain't buying so I ain't encouraging this nonsense. But then again, the cost of living is high and look how much zaboca thief have to pay for cable and Internet

  WOW. $50?! Ridiculous. I wouldn't be buying that no matter the state of supply and demand. If that means sitting out a zaboca season and/or planting my own tree, so be it.
  
  A prime example there on why we should start to learn how to grow our own fruits and veg to cut corners in these financially tiring times.

           yuh hadda cut down fruit trees coz of pipers... + many people move and trees take sooo long to bear... + we need the space coz Johnny cyar afford to move out and he juss get marrid...
           
           that being said it had plum, guava, lime, zaboca, fig and a whole heap of flowers in my current yard... now only the mango an zaboca exist...
           
           some trees had to be cut coz they were too big and a threat to other ppl homes... climbing was kinda difficult too...
           
           it is sad that our kids know not of our pleasures...

  Well i doh know why dat is a teif head and allyuh does buy clothes, shoes and other tings in dem stores with 100%+ markups.
  
  The fact is that in a few years this may very well be the price of a zaboca - nobody planting and everybody want office job.
