00:00Polak Jowardar, a resident of Siliguri, has achieved something extraordinary.

00:17He is growing apples in pots on his rooftop garden.

00:20Jowardar began cultivating apples in 2021 using the grafting method, all in small pots typically

00:31used to grow house plants.

00:35He specifically chose a variety of apples suited to low altitudes and relatively high temperatures.

00:50In this Siliguri, this is not a success, but after three years, it is now on the 14th-inch pot.

01:14I am very happy with this result.

01:19Jowardar says the apples grown on pots in his rooftop can match the best varieties in taste.

01:25One pair is 55, and one pair is 40, and the size is good, and the size is good.

01:39In HR-99, this is a reddish yellow.

01:45This is a reddish yellow.

01:47This is a balanced balance.

01:49Some horticulturists feel Jowardar's efforts could open the doors for a new method of apple cultivation

02:07in the region.

02:09Jowardar is not looking to turn his passion into a business yet.

02:13Even though Jowardar is not looking to turn his passion into a business yet, he says he will

02:37be happy if people in the region can emulate him in starting this form of apple cultivation.

02:49I am very happy with you, too.

02:59The only next one is a solid year.

03:01So as I said, the chart is a solid year.

03:03I am very happy with this list that I can imagine.

03:06And that's good.
