Sweet Tree also refers to the story about a persimmon tree that stands beside our home in Upper Merion, Pennsylvania. Our grandfather, Michele, was an Italian farmer and lover of agriculture who emigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1970s. A love of agriculture runs in the family, and soon after arriving in the states, Michele decided he wanted to plant his own persimmon tree in his backyard despite the unconducive climate. Michele took two branches from Italian persimmons, a male and female branch, and he grafted the two branches together to spawn a tree he planted outside his home. It took several years of careful nurturing and special treatment for this tree to make it on its own, but it did. This awesome tree now stands over 15 feet tall and bears hundreds of sweet persimmons each year, shared by the family for over 30 years.
