Noble I'm surprised at you. Punkin grow on vines. Minces grow on trees. We get mincemeat pies from them. Maybe ya wuz thinkin' of rhubarb bushes. ::)

Ya know, I don't think I have ever seen a kumquat. That would make a good I.D.er.

It would take a picture of the fruit and a description so ideal that guessing would be almost out of the question.  I can't seem to grow them in my yard because the tree freezes every year but I have access to some.  Perhaps I can put a kumquat, calamanda or loquat on this year if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Now, let's get back to this Pea Pot tree. :)

It's a Pecan!

Some folks call'em Pehcahnz and some call'em Pehcanz.  Some say Peacahn but us non-pretentious folks say Pea Can.  I guess it depends on whether you hold your pinky out when you talk. :D

Had an aunt from Illinoise come down south for a spell, went to a little old country store for a few things, and asked the clerk for a pee can, he handed her a slop jar.
