Lester:

Do you have two trees, or just one? IF one, then I guess it's self-fertile.
How large and old is your tree(s)?

Does anyone have an exceptional Diospyros lotus (date-plum) - comparatively
speaking?

Group,

The raisin tree in my back yard in Columbus, GA is not astrigent, but sweet
and slightly mealy. I do not try eat the stems until they mature and hit
the
ground, the seeds are also mature. I don't think it will be too much shade
for
the dogwood. My tree shades a fig which produces every year.

That's good advice Jim. But also the flower buds on most just aren't hardy.
If
they spend the winter in snow drifts, we get more berries the next year.

Cold windy weather today. Hard to believe it was over 80 two weeks ago.

Yep.? Saw one just like it recently, growing in a backyard fence that
borders the parking lot at the high school my daughter attends.? I didn't
look at leaf/bud morphology, but figured it was M. alba.
Considered marking it an collecting a scion to graft next spring, just
because of the leaf morphology-looks amazingly like the Magnolia/Brunswick
group of figs.

Subject: [NAFEX] strange mulberry leaf.

I was wondering if any of you crazy fruit explorers have seen a mulberry
with a leaf like this. It looked like a Morus alba, but the sinus lobing is
way deeper than any I've seen, the lobes are very straight, and there's no
small teeth at all. I've seen 2 trees in the Ann Arbor area that looked like
this, both obviously self-seeded, one in a fencerow by a cemetary and one
behind a dumpster. Both were young and vigorous. I know mulberry leaves
change significantly with vigor/age, but I've never seen anything like this
on any of the mulberries I've seen.

Is it another variety or species?

Yes, from seeds, very easy to propagate.

Never tried that combo.
Attempted Che(Cudrania)onto mulberry, with no success.

I have never seen a mulberry with a leaf like that but it definitely
resembles a Ficus afghanistanica I had a few years ago.

A search shows both Raji Puri and Raja Puri; Any notion as to which it
should
be? The description of Raja Puri or Rajapuri fits what i have pretty well.

The banana plant I bought and planted when living on the Gulf Coast of Texas
is Raji Puri, fairly common in the area.
