How To Make Persimmon Frozen Custard
Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is a tree native to North America that produces small, edible fruits that taste like creamsicles! Using them to make a frozen custard really plays to this unique flavor. If you're interested in doing this yourself, here is the link to a recipe/identification video: https://youtu.be/p-M0O7p2IOs?si=jEt8U3rGprz7A1eB

Sliver maple age estimate?
This silver maple is in the back yard of an old house in central Ohio that I bought to renovate. The original part of the house was built in 1847 and it was significantly expanded and renovated in 1872, with some additions afterwards. It may not look like it, but it’s almost 20’ in circumference below the point where it splits into five main limbs.

I have a really weak spot for pioneer trees, despite them being harbingers of climbing tree lines and violent changes in landscapes

What's wrong with this white pine?
Earlier this year I removed a large poplar that was right beside this pine. As the year progressed this pine has been showing signs of stress.
Just curious as to why and if it's directly related to the poplar being gone, giving it more exposure to wind/sun etc. It's located on the shores of a great lake so would likely be hit pretty hard with the elements. Any thoughts ?

Trying to mimic a homemade gin from Japan. Is this tree safe to consume?
My husband and I had an incredible home-infused gin in the Narai, Nagano. It contained ginger, juniper berries, goji berries, and most importantly, what we think was Hinoki aka Japanese Cyprus. We want to imitate this gin at home and realized the tree outside our apartment looks very similar to a Japanese Cyprus. Is this tree a Cyprus and/or is it safe to consume?
