Last year, I purchased a Persimmon tree to plant in our backyard, but had to wait until this Spring for the tree to be shipped. Unfortunately, the seller sent it to someone else, and I seemed to have received four organic plants instead. The company told me to keep them since shipping the plants back and forth would likely kill them. So I planted them and one of the plants is organic basil, which has been thriving in our garden. Yesterday I noticed many butterflies around them and took the following shots.

My Ichi Kei Jiro Persimmon tree eventually arrived. I planted right away, but so far it has only one leaf left!
