Oh, your welcome, I like to blab, if it helps anybody, that is good.

I like your pic of your porch, and landscaping there, Mipii.
A friend of mine had a house just like that, years ago, a bungalow style house too.
I don't know what the crime statistics are there, but, my friend grew some big plants there, mainly Elephant Ears, all the plants obscured her front porch and front door. She was burglarized one time when she was gone and they cleaned her out, they even took her laptop computer! They just broke the doorframe and walked in the front door! She and everybody suspected her next door neighbors, at night she worked on the laptop with the shades up, they could see right in and knew what she had and that she lived alone. She had no proof on that though, she just moved shortly thereafter, but it took a while to sell her house unfortunately.

Thanks muddy! I tell people that that Persimmon tree is iridescent, I love that tree in the Fall! Well, I love it all year round' but maybe a little more in the Fall! I don't know how long it's gonna be so pretty in Fall color though. Usually, young trees or juvenile trees have unusually good Fall colors. I'd say that about this tree but it's not that young anymore, it already bears persimmons.
That in itself is odd because it's dioecious, not a self-fruiting tree. I only have one Persimmon tree so I don't know how it gets pollinated, maybe from insects. I'm not complaining! That is a big relief for me!

Here's where I see rocks. - On the sides of highways on the ground only.
Coffee trees lose their steenking leaves so early in the Fall though. Do you have any restrictions such as height in the next tree, Muddy?!
