HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO MATURE AND HARVEST?

Some species of the palm trees will take 5 years before it's maturity comes and also it needs to be well taken care of before the harvest season.
The Agric and the local species are still good, but people do go for the improve seedlings that will quickly mature for harvesting.
