loquats... memories
I received such a splendid loquat.
There are many memories of early summer in loquats in early summer.
When I was a child (on Hakatajima Island), there were two large loquat trees, one of which was huge, but the loquat is of the small type. But sweet.
The other was a small tree about 3 meters long, easy to climb, and the fruit was large and juicy, just like this loquat.
When it starts to color, I go to check it almost every day, and if I can eat it, I eat it while climbing for more than an hour.
However, when I go the next day, it looks like it's going to be delicious again.
I was looking forward to coming home from school, so I went as fast as I could. .
However, it is difficult to remove the tip of the tree, and the loquat tree is very fragile, and several times I fell with the broken branch. . .
The bitterness of the loquat makes the palms and nails black.
I learned much later that this was tannin and was the same as the astringency of black tea.
