Betsy,
Three seedling (I presume) C.mas trees along the 'riverwalk' here in the
metropolis of Hopkinsville, KY. I'm sure there's not a half-dozen folks
in town here that even know what they are, much less that the fruits are
edible.
Rob Hamilton was by here once, back around 2001, when they were fruiting, I
think...
I've shared fruits with coworkers/friends. Not very well received.
As you may know, some have likened them to 'cranberry-flavored cardboard...
with astringency'. However, I do like them - even before they're soft and
fully ripened.
Many of my pears are breaking dormancy now, as well....
