In the beginning of this blog back in March, I had a posting titled, "The Persimmons Mystery" and I borrowed a pretty pic from the internet because this plant is a complete mystery to me. It was offered at our nursery for winter plantings and so I tried it out. I've been impressed by the simple beauty of this tree. It has grown slowly and produced only 1 fruit....the one you are looking at.....it is currently not ready to eat. It will turn an orangish/red color in November and be the last remaining thing on this deciduous plant before it turns completely bare. People love to use this word when writing about this plant...."astringent." It has performed well during the summer heat and I am very glad to have it in the landscape. I'm not sure what this fruit will taste like, but a final pic will be taken in November for your viewing pleasure along with my impressions of the flavor. The fruit just turned this yellow color. There are not many surprises anymore in life so this is something to look forward to next month:)
This week has been an incredibly busy time period for me. I am currently working on my Day of the Dead projects with my students for an art display plus I had a SMART Board and some new furniture put into my room. As with anything, you have to bust your tookus off to get these things for your students because no one hands them over for free, but my room is now perfection. Therefore, the blogging took a break just as things do when they get busy. I am working currently on a lot of interesting posts that will be upcoming this week and into next. This blogging is not only a record and journal of our grounds here at El Presidio but for me a fascinating look into the amount of things gardeners have to do besides just rake the leaves or blow the dirt off the patio......it's so much more. Tomorrow's blog will be on shaping certain plants and appropriately titled, "Shaping:)
