Comments (7)FigFan, Ok I was probably being small minded in focusing on the U.S. regulations, so if your intent was only to trade material with non-U.S. members of countries with less restrictive importation you are correct there would be nothing wrong there. I would add the members on F4F you recently were specifically requested to contact you regarding Pomegranates and listing what you offer up were U.S. members, so basically you stating I will disregard your importation regulations. Just because all except one of your international transactions has arrived successfully does not make it right in the locations where it is illegal. While the regulations may seem unreasonable at times, to ignore them only shows self-centered arrogance. We have a long list of examples of the pest/disease importation with negative results. I really think global trade has come to a point that any pest that can survive in the environment will eventually find its way there and any efforts of regulations to control the spread are limited in success. As far as hypocrisy in accepting material you know was brought in illegally I agree. I am sure I have things that did not go through proper importation, but regulations were not always what there are today, cuttings, seeds have been traveling around as long as people have and I certainly would not want to enjoy only those fruits native to where I reside. I don't plan to post again on this topic here. I have stated an opinion, but really don't want to get in an extended debate. People are going to continue to ignore regulations that are not effectively enforced....See MoreBest persimmon variety to grow in my area?
Comments (3)You are probably reminiscing about Hachiya. That one looks like a big orange acorn, is astringent until ripe and will splat on the ground when it is. But oh so good. I grew up with a Hachiya tree and just can't get used to Fuyu-type persimmons. But what did I plant? Suruga, Hyakume, Maru and Chocolate. Three of which are "cinnamon" persimmons - the flesh gets brown flecks or turns brown when pollinated and the flavor is improved over the non-pollinated ones....See MoreFirst ripe persimmon of the season
Comments (70)Tony, I will be moving those 1st year Kaki and a few other 1st year plants, but I have close to a 150 other fruiting trees, not to mention other fruiting bushes and vines like blueberries etc... as well as a lot of plants in pots needing put in the ground, and I plan on keeping the other site anyway. It is not my residence, just a small cabin on a few acres. I have had pretty good luck tarping things to protect them, but it has mostly been with a group of potted plants grouped together on a short term few nights basis with a huge cover your roof type tarp. Just keeping the frost off can help on the short cold spell after I have moved all the potted figs and such out of winter storage. I have used incandescent bulbs as you speak on a smaller scale and I believe they help....See MoreShin persimmon astringent
Comments (71)Cliff thought his Shin had completely snapped below the graft union because the fruits he was getting from his snow damaged mother tree were astringent. After consulting with me, he decided to change his idea about Shin being non-astringent. Really, if he was getting fruit from the rootstock what are the odds they'd even be edible? What I had was extremely precocious which should be a pretty good indicator of variety. Why are you debating about the shape? To me they look more like Fuyu than the astringent varieties in stores. Maybe I just have no eye for shapes. Let's move on....See More- 10 years ago
