There must be far more persimmon varieties than I have ever been aware of. I recently procured some from California. Like nothing I have ever seen. Same awesome flavor. Almost. Same awesome anyway....
What a pretty collection of peach pits in your palm there! I enjoyed learning the history behind them. The taco & glazed chicken recipes sound delightful.
Oh, plum, please! There are so many native plums and I don't think they are appreciated enough. I have two Mexican Plums (native here in Texas) and want Chickasaw plums but they aren't available commercially so I may have to rustle a couple of seedlings up somewhere.
Grafting is the only method of reproducing the exact same tree. If you or someone else loves that certain fruit, the method ensures a replica.
If you want to clone something from your saved seed hybrids, simple cuttings are superior. The practice of grafting is best in only a small percentage of instances. It has weakened the species.

There’s so many persimmon cultivars.
I can only imagine.

I cast a vote for the plums next week!
Thanks for your input dear! Plums take the lead! ❤️

Thanks cedar. I’m interested in the native plums as well. I appreciate the input. 🙏
Apropos of nothing but yumminess, the peaches from Mesa county CO are the best I’ve ever had.
Hello I’d like to hear a bit about all the fruits but I do want to hear more about plums and pluots, specifically. Thanks!
Hey Nick! It’s looking like the native plum group is going to win out this round. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
We would appreciate a post about the pear tree, please.
Thanks for your input Melissa! Stay tuned to find out which crop comes out on top next week. I appreciate it.
I almost moved to a location just to grow Asian pears....🤣🙈
That’s hilarious. I like European pears better myself.
I'm usually all about the texture in my food. For some reason, when it comes to pears, I can skip it.🤣

I agree. That’s why I like to grow from seeds as often as possible.
You really get it. 😉💪
