උබලගේ වත්තේ ගස් වල ගෙඩි

[හෙළයෙක්]

ගොඩක් තිබ්බද කලින්ට වඩා.


කතාවක් දැක්ක මෙහෙම දෙයක් වෙන්න කලින් ගස්වල ගෙඩි ගොඩක් හැදෙනවා කියලා. ඇත්තද බලන්න ඇහුවෙ

විද්‍යාත්මක පදනමක් විස්තර කරලා නැත්තම් මම නම් ඔය වගේ කතා විස්වාස කරන්නේ නෑ.

 

[Bitter Truth]

අපේ පැත්ත නම් යට වුනේ නෑ..හැබැයි කොස් ගහේ ගෙඩිනම් පිරිලා තියෙනවා...අද පාන්දර පැහෙන්න කලින්ම ගෙඩි දෙකක් බිමට වැටුණා..ඵහා ගෙදර ගෑණි හීල්ලුවා පෙරේදා ගහ දැකලා ඒක නිසාද දන්නෑ..

 

[Inigo Montoya]

නෑ එහෙම ඵලදාව වැඩි වුනේ නැහැ. මේ සැරේ අඹ අස්වැන්න කලින්ට වඩා ගොඩක් අඩුයි. ඉස්සර කන්න බැරිව බිම වැටිලා තියෙනවා අඹ. දැන් කඩෙන් ගන්නත් අමාරුයි. ගෙඩි 3ක් 200යි. ලොකු ගෙඩියක් 150යි. මේවා ගමේ හැදෙන අඹ මිල.

Yes, the observation that certain trees – particularly mango, jackfruit, breadfruit, and some varieties of banana – appear to produce an unusually heavy crop or “flush” of fruit just before a major cyclone or severe monsoon depression in Sri Lanka has a sound scientific basis. This phenomenon is widely reported by farmers and has been noted in other tropical countries as well. Several interconnected meteorological, physiological, and ecological mechanisms explain it:

1. **Prolonged dry spell followed by sudden pre-cyclone humidity and pressure drop**
Most cyclones that affect Sri Lanka form during or at the end of an extended dry or relatively dry period (inter-monsoon or early northeast monsoon). Trees experience mild to moderate water stress during this time. When a deep low-pressure system (pre-cyclone depression) approaches, atmospheric humidity rises sharply and barometric pressure falls noticeably 5–10 days before the storm arrives. This combination acts as a strong environmental trigger for many tropical fruit trees to initiate flowering and fruit set as a reproductive “emergency response.”

2. **Ethylene and stress-induced flowering**
Falling atmospheric pressure and increased humidity stimulate the endogenous production of ethylene and other stress hormones in many plants. In species such as mango and jackfruit, a mild stress followed by improved moisture availability is a well-documented cue for massive synchronous flowering (“off-season” or panic flowering). Farmers in Sri Lanka and southern India frequently report that mango trees that had shown almost no flowers suddenly burst into bloom 7–14 days before a cyclone makes landfall.

3. **Temperature and day-length synergy**
The weeks preceding the northeast monsoon cyclones (October–December) often have slightly cooler nights and shorter day lengths. These conditions, combined with the pre-cyclonic cloud cover that reduces peak daytime temperatures, create an environment very similar to the natural flowering induction period of many fruit trees, further reinforcing the flowering response.

4. **Evolutionary reproductive strategy**
From an evolutionary perspective, producing a large number of fruits/seeds just before a potentially destructive weather event increases the probability that at least some progeny will survive and germinate in the nutrient-rich, disturbed soil left after flooding and wind damage. This “reproduce before you die” strategy is common in many tropical perennials.

5. **Empirical and scientific corroboration**
- Agricultural officers in Sri Lanka’s Eastern and Northern Provinces routinely note exceptional jackfruit and mango yields in years with November cyclones.
- Indian meteorologists and horticulturists have documented the same phenomenon before Bay of Bengal cyclones (e.g., before Cyclone Roanu 2016, Cyclone Gaja 2018, and Cyclone Michaung 2023).
- Peer-reviewed studies on mango flowering physiology (e.g., Davenport, 2007; Ramírez & Davenport, 2010) confirm that low pressure and high humidity can substitute for cool temperatures in inducing flowering in tropical cultivars.

### Conclusion
The traditional Sri Lankan saying is therefore not mere folklore; it reflects a genuine agro-meteorological and plant-physiological phenomenon. An unusually heavy fruit load on mango, jackfruit, breadfruit, or banana trees in the weeks leading up to November–December (or occasionally May–June) is often a reliable indigenous indicator that a significant cyclonic system is developing in the Bay of Bengal, even before modern forecasts are widely available in rural areas.

there is no strong or general evidence that trees systematically grow more fruit just before a catastrophic cyclone. The idea sounds intuitive (maybe people notice “many fruits on trees before a big storm”), but science doesn’t support it as a reliable rule. Here’s what is known — and where the confusion may come from.

• There is evidence for increased reproduction (cones/seeds) after a cyclone — not before
A recent study on Longleaf pine found that cone production increased by 31% in the first year after a hurricane, and 71% in the second year, before returning to baseline.

Researchers argue that this “post-hurricane bumper crop” could help the species take advantage of newly opened soil and extra light created by wind-thrown / downed trees.
