I was hoping to finish the prep work for fence installation this morning, but got held up with vines all over a small tree. While working on those I noticed a bunch of small fruit scattered all around only to realize these vines were smothering a persimmons tree. Now, I haven't seen many persimmons in my life to know how they compare, but these are the largest I've ever seen. About the size of a racquet ball. The tree is loaded with fruit. Unfortunately a few limbs had to be sacrificed in the cleanup effort. The overgrowth was unreal. I've been procrastinating on this for years not realizing what was hidden under all those vines. image
