I can't thank you enough for this post! Over the past few weeks, I've been doing some major fruit tree planting here on my one acre in Volusia County. After seeing this post, I decided that I'd forget about some long-lost memory of eating some really nasty persimmons and take another look at them. Went and talked with the folks at the local nursery where I've been buying other fruit trees, then took a trip to Publix and bought a Fuyu persimmon to try. Your description was perfect – as close to mango as we can get in this part of the state. This afternoon, I bought all three Fuyu trees they had, and have a spot picked out for a fourth when I can find another one. These will join the 2 pear, 4 apple, 5 peach, and 1 avocado that I've planted recently (there were already 9 fig trees planted previously). Again, thank you!

It's been another busy stint again with working on arranging the DT Comp, training and more cleaning at Wave. Steve and I were both busy there last weekend cleaning new routes and also cleaning heather, gardening tips
