persimmons and kaki
I was born in a part of the world (SW France) where our November lives
were brightened by soft, overripe kakis in many gardens and orchard, and I absolutely adore the stuff. However, after a bit of research (including some here, as I recall) I had more or less come to terms with the fact taht I may not be able to grow it (and get fruit) in the Eastern Midlands of Ireland. Imagine my surprise when, in a promotional supplement included in yesterday's newspapers, a Bakker.ie pamphlet advertised sharon fruit (persimmon) trees for sale (the slightly square type fruits you get in shops here and which can be eated even when hard, not the big roundy ones I used to eat back home when they were almost gone off), side by side with blueberry plants and raspberry canes. Are there varieties that can genuinely be grown and fruit in these Islands? Cat(h) |
