Diospyros kaki
During my last passage in my ancestral home (SW France) for Xmas, my
entire childhood flashed before my eyes as I was given - for the first time in years - ripe kaki fruit to eat. Many of the local gardens and orchards have one or more of those, and as few people used to eat them, we kids used to gorge around Nov/Dec each year on the soft, incredibly exotically sweet orange juicy flesh. In a fierce fit of virulent nostalgia, I promised myself to try and plant one one in my garden (East Midlands of Ireland). Has anyone any experience of growing diospyros kaki in the British Isles? I believe it originates in China, and it is quite robust in the face of very low temperatures. But I am wondering about things such as sunshine hours in the summer, tolerance of wet conditions, and such. Any wisdom on this? TIA Cat(h) |
