Does anyone have experience growing Korean Pine, Swiss Stone Pine or Siberian 
pine for pine nuts in Zone 3, esp northern Minnesota?

Hi Sam,


The reason, once-in-a-while, I would want a persimmon with a grainy texture 
(which some persimmons get as they carmelize) is because it makes me feel 
like I'm eating food, not tree-candy - not that the later isn't great: e.g 
'Morris Burton' - nectar-sweet & juicy.  I think, for me, the best 
combination of all desired characteristics can be found in 'Lena'.

Could you please tell me why a grainy texture like Yates has would be 
appreciated or valued?  Does this equate to being firmer? -- Sam Brungardt,
