Subject: [NAFEX] Hovenia dulcis (Japanese raisin tree) question


> Gentlemen:
>
>
> I'd like to grow a Hovenia dulcis (Japanese raisin tree) as an over story 
> tree; once it towers over the 15' or 20' trees (these are saplings but 
> will be that tall, and the Hovenia can keep up), it will have full 
> sunlight - the site is characterized by good moisture, which it needs.
>
>
> Will this work, or will the Hovenia die out due to turf competition?
>
>
> I've tried the fruit-stems of one - tasted extremely astringent like an 
> under-ripe persimmon; maybe I should top-graft it with one that someone 
> says tastes great.
