KiwiCat's updates

I took this photo from the far point of my walk this morning, two street lights up from the end of our driveway and two thirds of the way up the hill to the next road. I’m trying to walk a bit further each day, and so far managing it, though some days – like today – I definitely feel that it was far enough by the time I get back. I wouldn’t win any awards for distance or speed, but it’s an accomplishment nonetheless.

I also walk around our property, looking at the gardens and fruit trees. The pears are developing nicely,  the peach and plum are doing okay, the citrus are all setting up for the next crop. The supposed apple down the bottom has blossomed but no real sign of fruit; there are some fresh buds, so maybe eventually. The cherimoya are budding, though both trees look unhealthy, so we’ll see if anything develops. The passionfruit look healthy and the feijoa is laden.

And then there’s our mystery tree. It looked like an apple, though a friend who works at an orchard seemed uncertain about it. But the fruit is slightly pebbled and very round and upright. Any ideas what this is? We’re wondering if it might be a nashi but aren’t sure.
