1 Captain John Smith American Persimmon Fuyu Persimmon ( ) (Diospuros Virginiana) (Diospyros kaki) January in the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden If it be not ripe it will drawe a mans mouth awrie with much torment; but when it is ripe, it is as delicious as an Apricock," wrote Captain John Smith when first tasting Chief Powhatan s prized fruit, which was used as their winter dried fruit. The name persimmon is derived from pasiminan, or pessamin, from Chief Powhatan s Algonquian tribal language. The dried fruits were to save many of the earliest Jamestowne colonists through the bitter cold winters and starvation times. Captain John Smith recorded over 500 words from the tribal language. Persimmons were known to the Ancient Greeks as Diospuros meaning Fruit of the Gods. The trees are in the Ebony family and the fruits are considered a "true berry. Fuyu persimmons, natives to Japan, are the commercial persimmons sold today in California. They were first introduced into the United States from Japan by Admiral Perry who discovered the fruit growing on the coast of Southern Japan in The rare Tsurunoko Chocolate persimmon is also a native to Japan. It is a descendent of the famous 600 year old Saijo (meaning very best) persimmon tree, which has been documented to be a grafted tree, meaning even centuries ago, the practice of grafting was a preferred method of successful propagation. Plan to visit our Rare Fruits Orchard to see the Fuyu persimmon and the Tsurunoko Chocolate persimmon in bloom by late April and during the fall fruiting season. -Sandy Krutilek-
2 What s in a Name? by Diane Conejo A week before the holiday, a friend from school opened the trunk of her car to reveal a huge bag of narcissus bulbs. Everyone in the group took a share of the gardener s booty home, which got me thinking... Why are these cheerful yellow flowers named Narcissus? The first thing that comes to mind is the mythological youth who vainly fell in love with his own reflection. Perhaps if they are planted by the side of a pond, you could catch them bending and reflecting in the water s surface. That s a lovely thought But, no. That is not the reason they were so named. The word Narcissus is taken from a Greek root that means to numb and that same root word helps to form the word narcotic. There is a toxic substance inside a narcissus bulb that has a narcotic affect if it is ingested. This is why most wizened critters will not bother to nibble your daffodils. Many of the bulbs I took away were already showing the green tip of a sprout. So I hurried to get them into the ground. A little late, but high hopes abide in my garden. They should be putting on a show in the late winter to early spring. Time enough. And then there were those corms I received from my customer, Julia... Crocosmia is a native of Southern Africa that grows from corms. It will naturalize well in rich, composted soil. The name is interesting: Krokos- is a Greek word referring to the very expensive spice, saffron; (Which is harvested from the large red stigmas of the saffron crocus.) and -osme means smells like. I have not yet experienced the smell, but they are summer bloomers, attract hummingbirds and are ravishing as they sway in front of a backdrop of golden grasses. Winter is thought of as a time of rest for the gardener, but we know there are still many chores to prepare and tidy the garden for the seasons ahead. These little storehouses under the soil are symbols of good things to come Happy 2014 in the Garden
