I have been watching my newly discovered Persimmon tree on a daily basis. And yesterday saw a black fruit that was sort of squishy. I thought I'd try my luck and wait just one more day! I came back today, and it had disappeared. Not surprising, as their is not much fruit available to our wildlife this time of year. But, I did learn online that Texas Persimmons will ripen off the tree. So I picked three mostly black but still hard persimmons, and put them on my inside windowsill. Since I am the only one in the household who has ever eaten a persimmon, I want the first time to be a sweet experience. So hopefully in a few days, they can give them a try, and will like them!
More Sweet Everlasting?
I have seen a few of these growing in the back lot, but wasn't sure what they were. Seek didn't provide any answers, but google thinks they might be Sweet Everlasting. Given the large number of Sweet Everlasting plants in the back, i am guessing that is correct. This Wikipedia article indicates the plant is a biennial, so next year it will shoot up. Seem believable, as compared to the biennial Standing Cypress I have grown. I will keep a watch over time to see if it shoots up.
I can't find much else about this plant online. But did find this site that says " The plant also gives off a wonderful maple syrup smell, making it a nice addition to any garden." Not something i noticed, even when taking cuttings from it (all of which failed)
