Cachi... persimmons... not a fan: taste like soap, fall and there’s gooey marmalade where you must tread. Am a fan: birds feast on the fruits seeds ignoring the bread I leave for them, Dog licks the fallen fruit for a vicarious shot of vitamin C. The later is important: during WWII and the famine in Italy, 6 eggs would but you 1 cachi. Dear they were. ANOTHER THING ABOUT ITALY... it mattered to@help the less fortunate so, and the law still stands, persons in need had the right to take any fruit laying on the ground. There was a dear little woman who lived above Il Poggiolo and regularly asked if she could come and gather up some cacchi. I offered to give her a case but Roberto said no, let her come and gather. A question of pride. #persimmons #persimmontrees #cacchi #fruit #gardenfruit #italy #tuscany #lunigiana #ilpoggioloacodiponte #codiponte (at Codiponte, Toscana, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJs749hAVls/?igshid=9ri108fxvdfs
