We have four persimmon trees, probably fuju variety. I understand the leaves will drop leaving just the persimmons behind. Some have already been attacked by birds so we have netting over them.
The last of the walnuts and chestnuts are in and the figs are virtually over. I do hope to get a recipe for pickled figs made out of the unripe figs. I tasted one the other at the Tree Crop Association Field Day and it was delicious.
We have given away so many feijoas. It is such a relief when someone takes away a big bag or a bucket. But I do hope to make some jam with the last of them or to dehydrate them. Still picking up a few. Malcolm has been marvellous doing all this picking up. He is so regular. Next year perhaps we might try selling some to the organic juicer companies where we understand it is a growers market still.
Next autumn we will be more prepared!
