As long as they don't leave the remains on the path.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-22106417317550545562016-08-15T17:00:38.158-07:002016-08-15T17:00:38.158-07:00I wonder if yours is the oriental variety.

I did have one failure and I think it was caused by too much water. I will keep them much drier this year-and in the house. I am planning to pot them up into something a little bigger. Good luck with the plumeria.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-37863910613503742482016-08-14T12:19:50.049-07:002016-08-14T12:19:50.049-07:00Amazing photo of the fox in the persimmon tree!

(http://www.wildedibletexas.com/2013/07/texas-persimmons-are-ripening.html) Though I guess most of them may be eaten by wildlife before you get a chance to taste them?Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402416428574401646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-34609430417508572072016-08-13T12:30:08.463-07:002016-08-13T12:30:08.463-07:00What a great collection of Ps you have!

That photo of the fox was a great catch - given the broken branches "my" raccoons leave behind, I don't think they're nearly as nimble as your fox when they climb our persimmon trees. My persimmons have large fruit this year (although the foliage looks awful). It remains to be seen whether any of the fruit will ripen intact.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-61663643236349227972016-08-12T17:55:46.986-07:002016-08-12T17:55:46.986-07:00That fox is precious, and I am jealous of those su...That fox is precious, and I am jealous of those successes with the plumeria - my potted one stubbornly refuses to bloom! - and the papayas. We have papaya seedlings come up everywhere in the garden every summer because of the compost we distribute, and I always end up potting up the biggest one, but not even in the sun room have I been able to get them through the winter.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291223943168030684noreply@blogger.com
