due to Circumstances, I now have a persimmon seedling and a quince tree, and I am pretty enthused about this
#those are the two fruits I most want to grow#I chose persimmon but the variety I bought in the fall apparently didn't make it#so they offered a baby of another variety + the quince to make up the price difference and YES#now#do I realistically have room for two trees in my front yard period?#let alone a fucking persimmon?#hard maybe!!#but lawns as we know are overrated#and sunny barren DRY as FUCK lawns like this one are definitely a waste of space#so. oops it's a mini orchard now#(the objectively correct answer here is to get rid of the giant invasive maple in the front lawn#which I will do if and when the persimmon gets uh persimmon-sized#but that'll be quite a while)#(I have a back yard also. it is Very Shaded. I love trees!!)#(I am also very glad my neighbors who own 2/3 of the giant pines shading the back#realized it'd be a truly stupid expense to take them down for no reason#look if one of them miraculously falls SIDEWAYS onto my house I will be sad for sure but my dudes that ain't the prevailing wind direction#also they seem perfectly healthy (though I would like to somehow find an arborist whose job isn't primarily Cut Down)#and while I will also be very sad if one even more miraculously drops itself or a huge branch on a person in the yard...#rational risk/benefit analysis folks let's get us some)
