Daniel, How kind of you for telling me (and everybody here) such wonderful things about fruits... Actually early this year I did some research on fig fruit and growing them and almost got to order one from internet... But for all the conditions and concerns... I passed, yet my friend here had quite a bit harvest this summer and I had my first chance tasting real yummy fresh figs. And yes, I was able to harvest a small crop of Feijoa last year first time and the PA guava tasted wonderful as the flavor was all different from other fruits. This year I expect to have a bigger crop to enjoy As for the Persimmons, I had quite a joyful experience in tasting them before moving to U.S. from Asia. Mainly we had two kinds of Persimmon in Taiwan: one has yellow-orange skin which meat is more crunchy with refreshing flavor, another one has orange-red skin which meat is slippery, smoothy, and soft with aging flavor. Both are wonderful fruits. I do think there are growers here who may be growing P, but can't find their crop in supermarkets... The ones I do find in supermarkets or grocery stores are mostly, if not all, from foreign countries (could be Mexico?) and they all taste no joy. Too bad.

I thank you for providing info about CRFG. Not decide to formally turn a fruit grower though.
