I love this time of the year when I can see the amazing cachi trees bare except for their bright orange fruit.
You can eat them of course. If they are perfectly ripe they are delicious.
But it seems a pity to spoil this great view.

yes I like looking at the cachi but I don’t like eating them!
They taste great if you get them at just the right moment
They make the perfect Christmas tree !
With free decorations
What a beautiful photographs, trees naturally got ornaments. I loved them all dear Debra, Thank you, love, nia
They are considered quite a delicacy here in the US and are quite expensive. They do need to be eaten at just the right moment. Would love to see my cachi tree in La Pieve di Monti di Villa right now. Thanks for your wonderful photos. Really helps with the nostalgic feelings of wanting to be there.
I like them, but they have to be just right. Grom does a great cachi gelato.
Put some very ripe cachi with a tin I amount of sugar and lemon juice through the blender and serve this on top of vanilla or pan a cotta gelatto. Delicious!
That sounds delicious!
That sounds very delicious.
Gorgeous pictures! But now you’ve got me curious as to what they taste like. 🙂
They are very sweet, the flavour is difficult to describe. You may know them as persimmons
I have wondered about these fruits while here and thought they could not be eaten as people leave them on the trees. But now I know. They look great with a splash of colour in the otherwise colourless surroundings in winter.
You can eat them, but they look great on the trees and the birds love them. I have just planted one at Casa Debbio.
Are they what we call Persimmons – I know they are not nice if they aren’t perfectly ripe, but they are lovely when they are. They do make a lovely Christmas picture.
Yes, they are persimmons. We don’t see them often in Brisbane.
They look just like orange balls on the bare branches….and very nice fruit as well when you get them at the right time.
