Saw these slightly unusual sweet Persimmons today in the southern part of Myanmar. Yellower than I've previously seen and with a browner Calyx.

It's perhaps a little known fact that Persimmons are the 8th most eaten fruit in the World. My wanderings through Cambodia and now Myanmar (Burma) certainly have confirmed the presence of sweet Persimmons (Fuyu) in most markets...hard to mistake that deep orange colour in any display...Thwa me!

Finally the new cycle begins. Still early days but the trees have begun to breath again with an abundance of new growth. Including our new Yang Fangs. These will be a real treat when they bare fruit...

Sadly the season is coming to an end. There are only Fuyus (hard sweet variety) left on the trees. The remaining stock will only stretch to to the end of this week so get in quick!
