They are looking good, also if you are in CHCH anytime call into Christchurch Piko Wholefoods they have open pollinate persimmon fruit for sale (in season ), thats where i got the seed to grow the seedlings ive got going atm.

Is that a pear next to the two persimmons

The persimmon tree sound like its rather brittle, makes me wonder how it will handle deep snow,if they are anything like Loquats i may as well give up now.

Ah, that's a top tip on the seed.  Thanks Richard.

Yes, good eye, I have four "Angelyce" pear seedlings. Not sure they're good for much other than putting in the wind break between the cabbage trees.

Angelyce" pear ??, do you mean Angelys Pear.

And for those outside of NZ the cabbage tree is Cordyline australis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordyline_australis

Those are interesting looking trees!

surely they could at least be grafted onto and serve as rootstocks.
