What, no medlar or persimmon trees, Beavis?
Gosh, you have things I am not even familiar with seeing :ep.

Okay, here are some crops that were the very last in my garden: kale, leeks, arugula and Asian mustard. They survived repeated frosts and the mustard even continued to grow into November whenever the weather brought us rain for a few days instead of clear skies and frost.

I know that many plants can survive frost and that freezing temperatures aren't frequent even during the winter there. However, the hemisphere of my brain where gardening is analyzed :rolleyes: froze when snow covered the ground here and the thermometer dropped below zero.

There are varieties? Well, I guess that shouldn't be surprising :rolleyes:. And, the Myers Lemon is in some people's homes as an indoor plant.

Calomondin? What's that? I suppose I could check Wikipedia . . .

Minneola? It is some kind of citrus, seems that I remember :/.

Pomegranate? I am sure that I have no idea what that tree (bush?) looks like, even if I am familiar with the fruit (and juice).

And a Medlar? I don't know what that is . . . just that it is similar to a persimmon. And, there's the jam . . . Unlike some, I like persimmons and can even eat them, not quite ripe. In fact, I've got some in the kitchen now :)! Perhaps, it is only because I like them that I've looked for the trees on visits to places where they can grow :cool:.
