Speaking of kaki persimmon, last year I had a bumper crop on all 3 trees.  I 
gave away hundreds of pounds.  This year there are hardly any persimmons 
showing.  We did have one low temp in the mid 30's in late March, but it had 
no effect on  muscadines, figs, pomegranates, and blueberries.  Any ideas?

Hi Jerry,

At 12 feet they should be bearing. Have you seen flowers? Could they be 
males? 

I'd wait now until next spring then prune off the lower limbs lower than 
maybe 5 feet or 6 ft.  And prune out limbs that are crowding other limbs, 
balancing out the tree.

Cut right after bloom as they set blossom almost immediately. No harm, but 
won't have flower next season if cut too late. Not sure about the reblooming 
ones--probably the same.

Dear all,

Do you know which fruit accounts for half of the world fruit production.

If not, go to Fruitipedia and see this weeks “Interesting Facts About
