I've wanted a quince and persimmon for years - but don't tell Baldy or he'll think I'm softening towards him

I read that as backside
Last night I watched a bit of "Tales from the Green Valley" a 16th century re-enactment series and I've been to the valley where it was filmed. They showed us a medlar and told us its nickname! I couldn't possibly have one of those in the garden

[Baldy]

Bill sayeth thusly:

Now will he sit under a medlar tree,
And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit
As maids call medlars, when they laugh alone.
O Romeo, that she were, O that she were
An open-arse and thou a pop'rin pear!

[Cadalot]

Baldy you is well bad, you're making me think about getting trees, must resist, must resist and as for Men and MLB, I have to say there a special something about the sun shining off that head of yours .. OMG do I have a Man Crush ?

[sparrow100]

[Bigmallly]

How big does a Persimmon tree get? I'm intrigued, but it doesnt say final height or spread

5 meters. Have you been to speccy s@vers lately?

From Suttons site:-

One of the oldest known fruits!
These hardy, self-fertile trees are little known in the UK, but deserve to be much more widely grown. Ideal for a greenhouse, conservatory or a hot, sunny spot outdoors. Pick the fruit in late October, and allow it to ripen to sweet perfection on a sunny windowsill. When ripe, eat them fresh by spooning out the smooth, custard-like flesh (it is sweet and delicious and tastes a little like a mango). They can also be used in desserts of breads, or even dried. Eventual height approximately 5m (16').



Also I never scoop mine the skins are edible
