This is my last update on this thread for the season. It was a pretty good year in the orchard. I got to taste a lot of fruits for the first time, and I got to see how a lot of fruits improved as they became more established. Some lessons learned and mistakes made. Drought and windfall. Looking forward to what next year brings.
A bucket of hybrid persimmons.
I’d ordered this “Suruga” persimmon a few years back from Martha’s Secrets since they were the only place I could find it. Bad call. These look more like Saijo to me.
Prok is excellent. Good size, top notch flavor, and good texture. I prefer hybrid persimmons more than either of their parents these days. But still, Prok is tough to beat.
The forecast has us getting a hard frost later this week, so here are my last few figs of the year.
