My cousin lives in France and brought back several small plants from Avola. So when I was visiting him in France he of course gave me a couple of saplings. I am now growing them in South Carolina and hope to see both of my small plants flourish. Of course my family in freezing Toronto are all envious of my find but can't wait to eat the fruits in about 5 years!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26334088.post-30745476250254455412009-03-16T15:10:00.000+01:002009-03-16T15:10:00.000+01:00Hmm, a bit sour...

They can be a bit sour, but wait a bit longer to eat them.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17726352825467150791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26334088.post-50807789897273105482009-03-16T14:54:00.000+01:002009-03-16T14:54:00.000+01:00we live in south florida and have a Nespola tree. ...we live in south florida and have a Nespola tree. we are not sure when to eat the fruit. it is a bit sour. any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26334088.post-9317476701984290262008-05-25T21:15:00.000+02:002008-05-25T21:15:00.000+02:00I love reading about Sicily...we had a such a fabu...I love reading about Sicily...we had a such a fabulous time in 2006, we only could go for a week, but still was a very very enjoyable time.Anne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26334088.post-86831347258615011072008-05-22T18:37:00.000+02:002008-05-22T18:37:00.000+02:00Carole,So happy to bring back memories!!

I was there 3 months and enjoyed every fruit and vegetable that was available fresh. Each day I treasured like it was my first and last. One day I will return to Termini Imerese. In the meantime I enjoy reading your blog and being taken back to Island periodically. I think it's so romantic how you and your sposo got together.Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064247260945638783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26334088.post-47116260921460652682008-05-19T23:44:00.000+02:002008-05-19T23:44:00.000+02:00Ciao Jilli,you brought back memories from a year a...Ciao Jilli,<BR/>you brought back memories from a year ago today when we were in Sicily visiting parenti. It was the first time for my husband to taste nespole & he went crazy over them. When we got back in KC he was searching to buy some, but like you said they're hard to find especially in the Midwest.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy la frutta fresca.<BR/><BR/>CaroleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
