The Massey

I walked by a persimmon seedling I planted a couple of yrs ago this afternoon. Gave it a bend and it broke. Dry as a bone. Probably should replace most of my persimmons with pears as they just don't seem to do well this far west. Of course my pear trees were snowed on last week while in bloom, probably won't get a fruit this yr from them.

Seems like there’s more selection of late blooming crabapples than pears. But pears are just about as tough as they get, that’s for sure.
