今日は曇りの予報とは異なり一日中雨で、草木の世話をすることなし。２階バルコニーの日本ナツメのうち１本の幼果が雨水を吸収してよく育っています。これは24年の夏に買った日本ナツメの大苗からのヒコバエで、初年度の去年 たくさんの実を着けたので動画まで撮った個体です。今年も豊産性を発揮しています。
It rained all day today, although the forecast had been a 'cloudy day'. The rain seems to be good for the young fruits of a Japanese jujube plant. This is one of the 3 suckers that came out of the pot when I bought a large Japanese jujube tree in summer 2024. In its initial year of growth in 2025, it produced a lot of fruits. So much so that I made a video to show the ripe fruits on this plant. This year again, the tree is proving to be prolific.
In spring last year, cut the tree trunk at about 60cm above ground. Branches (mostly annual branches) are hanging from the top like a weeping tree. Young fruits are lined up like a string of beads.
うちにある８本の品種ものの幼果はまだまだ小さいのに、この苗のは成長が早いです。完熟すると、しっかりと酸味もあるし果汁も十分でとても美味しい。唯一の難点は、実のサイズが小さい。
I have 8 known varieties of jujube, but their fruit setting is far behind, in contrast to this tree's progress. This tree produces sweet and juicy fruits with some tartness (I value acidity in jujube fruits). They are almost perfect fruits, except the small size.
