There is a native variety that grows here in Missouri, and the fruit is certainly an acquired taste. And you can't eat them until after a hard frost. The flavors are hard to describe – fruity, ripe, perfumey, waxy and like no other fruit I have ever had. It is not a subtle tasting fruit. :) I'm not sure how other varieties taste, but I assume they are similar. My parents love them. I'm not so sure. <br />SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-3191682592359981572013-06-07T08:35:58.676-05:002013-06-07T08:35:58.676-05:00I am sooooo jealous of your beautiful fruit trees....I am sooooo jealous of your beautiful fruit trees. And pecans some day! We have no room in our suburban yard for fruit trees. Maybe some day, if a tree dies, we can put some in.... I hate to wish for a tree to die! ;) Enjoy that fruit!<br />Sarah<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-41663937303746287432013-06-03T23:09:58.545-05:002013-06-03T23:09:58.545-05:00So far so good!

Do you know I've never eaten a persimmon? And there is a variety that grows well here. It was on my list but I just never got one. Hmmm, now you have me curious...I might should try that.

My satsuma is struggling too, and my pomegranate has no fruit (sigh)...What s rocking is the persimmon for a young tree it really produces.<br />Velvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034246333318823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-89260029690364553732013-06-03T19:11:56.181-05:002013-06-03T19:11:56.181-05:00OMG, aren't figs wonderful?

Granted we didn't have a hard hard freeze but it was in the upper 20's a few times.<br /><br />One is a "Celeste Fig" (sometimes known in the South as a Sugar Fig) and the other one is called a "Texas Everbearing Fig". <br /><br />I went online to our local ag office and found a list of 'best fruit/nut varieties' for our county. All of the trees I've planted have been on the list. <br /><br /><br />Hope that helps!!!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-10513338413505967342013-06-03T18:07:37.562-05:002013-06-03T18:07:37.562-05:00there is nothing like eating a fig warmed by the s...there is nothing like eating a fig warmed by the sun fresh from the tree! i lost several trees last winter but have a couple doing very nicely!jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-36802167273075703572013-06-03T14:47:31.073-05:002013-06-03T14:47:31.073-05:00I left my Figs outside all winter and it looks as ...I left my Figs outside all winter and it looks as though they didn't survive :( what variety is yours?<br />Loving the pears you have growing there, I have my fingers crossed for my own this year.<br /><br />LindaLindachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307042289297886569noreply@blogger.com
