Pick
persimmons 2015/ Carlos Pueblo
I went to
pick persimmons this morning. I have been picking persimmons
every year
since the 90’s which gives me very much pleasure. I am looking
like a kid
working on the fruit trees on the yard back homes in Taiwan.
This year is
with low harvest due to several reasons, raining in wrong seasons
, power
company trims some branches which reach the power line, and a
year of low
pollination.
I check on
both trees, one with a heart shape fruit has nothing left and the other
one flat
size fruit with some left on the garage roof. What I have done picking is
put the
ladder on the garage and use a pool to hook the branch closed to me.
The average
weight per fruit from this tree is about 10 ounces and I have picked
40 today in
compare with previous years, this is a low harvest.
I plan to
treat the fruit with apple in a closed ice box, no refrigeration , until
It becomes
soft. I don’t have enough to make dry persimmon his year.
I went to
visit three places on my way, an old classmate at junior high, an
old client’s
gift whole sales shop, and a sunglasses importer. Old classmate
has sold his
washeteria and retired; we discussed religion at the gift shop
and finally
I found some glasses for far sight eyes in the future.
