去年の８月に買った日本種のナツメからは、秋までに３本のヒコバエが出てきました。これ↓はそのうちの１本で、いま実が熟し始めたところです。樹高は摘心したあと上には伸びず、現在60 cmくらいしかありません。初年度から実を沢山つけて非常に優秀です。実はとても甘いだけでなく、果汁たっぷりで酸味も十分あります。これはナツメの中では非常に貴重な要素なので、これからも大切に育てていきます。
This is a sucker from a parent tree that I bought in August last year - a nameless Japanese jujube growing on its own roots. By autumn, 3 suckers came out of the ground, and this tree is one of them. Growing in a pot, the tree is currently about 60cm tall (I cut the top of the tree in early summer to keep it small). Although in its initial year of growth, the tree has a lot of fruits. The fruits are not only very sweet, but they also have lots of juice and tartness. Among jujube fruits juiciness and tartness are rare. Although the fruits are small, I am going to cherish this variety.
