While shopping last week up in San Jose/Milpitas 99 Ranch, we saw these Fuyus for sale... these trees are all over the place in the bay area, there's 3 persimmon on inlaw's block not counting their 40+ year old tree. At least the ones sold at Costco are "locally" grown. Forgot to take a picture but the next table over had cherimoyas, $8.99/lb, but labeled grown in California. Brad has a better deal, even with postage, with his Cherimoyas!
Definitely fortunate when fruits can be sourced from our own or someone else's "backyard " vs the marketplace.
Given how much transportation costs are, how much profit can they make on these imports?
