In the Sandanski village of Mikrevo this year they will pick bananas that have grown in the village. Atypical for our latitudes, in Mikrevo they enjoy their own banana harvest.
This year, the banana tree in the central square of the village bore its first fruits since it was planted. However, Bulgarian bananas are much smaller than the ones we can buy in stores.
However, the people of the village enjoy the harvest, as they are one of the first settlements in Bulgaria where bananas grow, although the climatic conditions in our country are not very favorable for the tropical fruit.
In Mikrevo they hope that the weather will not catch a cold and that frosts will not fall, because this will ruin the recently grown bananas.
The mayor of the village even joked in front of BTA representatives that since we cannot become Switzerland in the Balkans, thanks to the first banana harvest, we can become the first Banana Republic.
Other thermophilic plants are grown in the region, which are typical for countries with a much warmer climate than ours - olive trees and a few palm trees.
Krassimir Nikolov's house in Mikrevo looked like a villa from the Aegean region with two exotic palm trees in front, which have already reached the roof of the two-storey house.
Thirteen years ago, the man planted the first palm trees in the village, saying they require a lot of care, especially in the winter when temperatures drop outside.
Pensioner Yordan Dimitrov also boasts an exotic view of his home. The man is a beekeeper, fisherman, hunter and farmer, like most people in the village. Dimitrov even brags that he can already smell the bananas in the honey he produces.
The pensioner has also planted his own banana tree, which he hopes to bear. And in general, the man grows lemons and kiwis in his yard, which are already full of fruit.
It is assumed that the changes that occur as a result of global warming predispose to the cultivation of tropical fruits in the southern parts of our country.
