Title: My VistaPrint Electronic Business Card
Hi
In the country west of West Terre Haute, Indiana, was a huge old
persimmon tree that we used to pick up fallen fruit to eat back
in the early 1970's. It was huge! It was taller than the two
story old farmhouse near by. There was also a persimmon tree growing
on a school yard in New Goshen, IN, about 15 miles N of that site where I had my
first "taste" of green persimmon when I was in first grade-sort of a rite
of passage. Need more be said?
I also know that Walda and Fred Janson had 3 persimmon trees on their
Rockton, ON, Canada, orchard that they got fruit from only once every three
years or so. They had mentioned that the trees were in
the borderline zone for the trees.
