persimmon flowers

去年植えた小さな苗が
ぐんぐんぐんぐん
育ってきて

今年の春になると
枝の先の葉の下に
薄緑色の可愛らしい
鈴のようなものを
たくさんつけました

あれれ？
この薄緑色のものは
いったい何なのでしょう？

うーん
ちいさな若葉かな？
それともまさか
蕾だったりして？

正直、葉っぱだと思ってた

そのうち
だんだんと暖かくなり
ある日見てみたら

なんとなんと

薄緑色の鈴のようなものが
白い鈴のようなものに変身？

いやいや、よく見たら
白い花！

真っ白な鈴のような花！

おおっ、可憐な花よ！

柿の花って
初めて見た！

そう

苗は、おそらく
柿であろうと思われる

桃栗三年柿八年🍑🌰🥭

柿の実がなるのは
８年後？

かな？

A small seedling I planted in a flowerpot last year
steadily
grew up

When this spring comes
under the leaves at the tip of the branch
pretty light green
something like a bell
I put a lot

Is that it？
What are these light green things?

hmm
Are these little young leaves？
Or could it be a bud？

I honestly thought it was a lot of little young leaves

After a while, it started to get warmer, and one day, when I looked at it,

How what

A lot of light green bell-like things transformed into white bell-like things?

no no, if you look closely
A lot of white flowers!

They were pure white bell-like flowers!

Oh, pretty flowers!

I saw persimmon flowers for the first time!

yes

The seedling is probably a persimmon tree

Peach chestnut three years persimmon eight years 🍑🌰🥭

Will the persimmon bear fruit in 8 years？

Is not it？
