And planted the dwarf Cavendish banana next to my Orinoco, one at each side
Also planted my rojo brilliante and coroa de rei persimmons, still deciding the spot for the fau fau
If you notice I planted the coroa de rei persimmon parallel to a big persimmon tree which belongs to my orchard neighboor… .the tree in the background
His tree is a beautiful tree with beautiful foliage and nice and big persimmons… No idea the cultivar… Any ideas?

Dwarf cavendish is much less cold hardy than orinoco… expect some cold damage on Dwarf cavendish plants…

Do you have any Mulberry seeds to share?
I propagate them from cuttings or airlayers… I ate the fruits. No seeds
Dear Carl, you mentioned an morus alba variety called Portugese alba with very very large fruit. Would you recommend it? As in, does it grow well, produce well, taste well? And is it juicy? Thanks ia
Dear Carl, I have some questions about the Portugese alba with very very large fruit. Would you recommend it? As in, does it grow well, produce well, taste well? And is it juicy or dry? Also, when ripe the colour is dark/red correct? Thanks ia

Never heard about that one, any info about it? By the way those plants are thick (persimmons), how old are they?

Hi @Frgrowernl, it was the first year I had the Portuguese Cultivar in the ground, hard to give you a far review, but the first fruits were indeed big and with a good flavor, I put it in a full sun exposure and it didn’t struggle with the full sun and hot summer even being the first year in ground. I believe next season it will grow exponentially bigger and fruit even better. Once it’s ripe the colour is really dark, almost black
Hi! Did you saw my PM?

@lilke fau fau persimmon is non adstringent, you eat it like an apple as soon as you collect it. No idea about its juiciness, as I never tried this one yet. But I believe my neighbors persimmon in the photo is a fau fau also - cant be sure though
