I also have honeysuckle that was from great great grandmother’s plant.
But bear in mind, my family has lived/owned/operated farms in this county since 1889.
This week I pealed and hung to dry about 60 hachiya persimmons from a 50 year old tree we have. They are drying on a rack inside my sun room. Not a big crop (last time I dried 250), but we just went through a 3 year drought. No one living in Texas has seen such a drought. Have to go back to 1895 to find a similar pattern.
We also have a couple of pear trees that are 60-70 years old. Very reliable producers. Most of my orchard is much younger.
That’s terrific. We haven’t had much luck with our orchard we planted it in 2010. I think its because the trees are all to close to the walnut tree.
What little fruit we got was teeny not even as big around as a pencil lead.
