the fruit of November

Total crop size for 2017 from the Rettie Fuyu was three. Our beautiful persimmon lives too much in the shade to produce it's full share of harvest. But it makes up for lack of fruit by it's spring green leaf out and fall color. And Dashiell and Aero enjoy climbing in it.

 I have grown quite fond of persimmons. I think they are an acquired taste, like opera and single malt.
