it was softball sized. I'd never seen anything like it either! They were
$2.49 a pound.
We bought it (one) anyway - (cost $1.81 !!!!!) it was delicious and it will
be the last time I buy one of those babies!!!

Hm, now I'm wondering if that is something that will grow true from seed,
or if you have to graft the thing, and wondering if I have a nursery catalog
what I can get a tree from and if so if it will bear here, and if I'd need to
cull fruits to a certain number of leaves per fruit to get that size.
Sigh.
I've ordered fruit trees from Stark Brothers Nursery in Louisiana, MO. They have an excellent catalog that describes the fruit in detail and tells you the areas where they grow. They have a web site too. I called them once about a tree that died in the first year and they replaced it free.
