Great story.
Hey that fig looks a lot like my fico bianco.  Now I have a knock out description of the taste..LOL

Native Sun, God bless the person that taught you creative writing.  It was joy to read and brought a smile and misty eyes too!  I hope at some point you discuss the other fruit bearing plants that you have nurtured. 

That was the best story I've read here in a while - had me laughing out loud!! Thanks for that !!

One day you can make them fig wine, I'm curious, what persimmon varieties do you grow? I'm looking to pick just one up soon and can't decide on one variety.

James,

Great story. I agree. If I grow it, I want fruit. My wife plants the items which appeal to the eye instead of the palate.

Welcome to the forum.

That is an really nice story.  And also the follow up expansion.
