American persimmon seeds (Diospyros virginiana)

Price for Package of 5 seeds.

The American persimmon produces a large crop of sweet edible fruit with very little attention but also produces valuable timber and is great for bees and therefore for honey production. The persimmon is easy to grow with fast growth until fruiting commences.
 It will grow to a height of about 15ft in the first 5 years. It prefers deep, loamy, well-drained soil, but will tolerate any soil that is not waterlogged. The tree is drought-resistant.

The American Indian used the fruit in gruel, cornbread, and puddings and with honey locust pods, made an alcoholic beverage.
The American persimmon mixed with cornmeal can be brewed into "Simmon beer". Vinegar could also be made with this fruit.
 The fruit can provide a self-feeding fodder crop for livestock. All livestock enjoy the ripe fruit as they fall from the tree. They are also popular with wildlife.

Good fruiting trees can be grown from the seeds. Fruiting begins and continues for fifty years or more.
 The tree is hardy to -29 C.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2><strong>Yard Long Bean, Snake Bean, Chinese Long Bean Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 10 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p><strong style="font-size: 14px;">Yard Long Bean also known as Snake Bean, Asparagus Bean or Chinese Long Bean produces long, thin round bean pods with a slightly sweet taste. The pods can grow up to 100cm long but are at their best picked when about 30cm long and the thickness of a pencil, then they will be tender and sweet rather than tough.</strong></p> <p>Yard Long Beans are best grown under the protection of a polytunnel/greenhouse in the UK although they can be grown outside in a long hot summer. It is a climbing bean that can reach 2m tall so will need a frame or wigwam of poles to climb up and tied to as with Runner beans or French Beans.</p> <p>Yard Long Bean produces pretty delicate purple flowers and the pods hang down in pairs. To keep them producing beans, regularly pick and use the bean fresh within 1-2 days. They are a very productive plant given the protection of a greenhouse and lots of heat although can be held back if a little cold.</p> <p>Yard Long Beans are a staple of South East Asian/Thailand cuisine but are also used in Hindi (Chori) and Caribbean (bora) cooking. They can be steamed or stir-fried and are great in curries. Cut the pods into 10cm lengths and treat like French Beans. If any of the pods are allowed to mature, the beans in the pods can be shelled, dried and kept in an airtight container for use in soups and stews etc. The beans will require soaking overnight in water and boiling vigorously for 10 minutes before simmering until tender so as to destroy any toxins as with most pulses.</p> <p>Yard Long Bean is an unusual bean that is well worth growing, but to get the best pick young and tender and use fresh but perhaps allow a couple to grow on have a competition to try growing the longest pod. It’s a bean feast!</p> <p></p> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #0000ff;"><strong><iframe width="640" height="385" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CyDsxnUGO90?rel=0&amp;hd=1" frameborder="0" class="embed-responsive-item"> </iframe></strong></span></div> </body> </html>

Best harvested at lemon size. Although outstanding for salads or pickling, chances are (just like us) you will end up eating most of these delectable nuggets out-of-hand like an apple. This is a vigorous plant that should yield a tremendous crop.  70 days.</p> <p><strong>Origin:</strong></p> <p>The cucumber species originates from India. The origin of lemon cucumbers isn't certain, it was introduced to America sometime between 1894 and 1905 but there are Middle-Eastern documents that mention this variety from the 16th century, making its likely origin from around this time in either the Middle-East or India. </p> <p><strong>Culinary Us<span>es:</span></strong></p> <p><span>Lemon cucumbers are sweet and crisp with no bitterness making them very versatile.  Burpless and thin-skinned.  Great for pickling, juicing, adding fresh to salads, or eating as a healthy and delicious snack.  Don't be fooled, the variety name 'Lemon' refers to the color of the skin of this cucumber, not its taste, it is not lemony in flavor nor particularly sour.</span></p> <p><strong>Cultivation:</strong></p> <p>Cucumber 'Lemon' should be trellised for ease of picking and to save space.  Easy to grow, very prolific with fruits maturing quickly.  Fruits need less heat to ripen than most varieties making them a good variety for cooler climates.  Also a good variety for growing in pots and containers.  Avoid watering leaves where possible to reduce disease.  <span>Lemon cucumbers are more resistant to drought than most cucumbers and are resistant to rusts.  </span><span>Grows best in soil with a pH of around 6.5.</span></p> </body> </html>
