I always thought punkins grew on bushes

Boy I like punkin pie almost as much as pecan pie.

DanG · « **Reply #5 on:** August 18, 2003, 12:14:46 pm »

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.

Ok, Don. :-/ I'll give another hint. (sigh!)

Tom · « **Reply #10 on:** August 18, 2003, 07:28:30 pm »

So I've been told, Jeff.

Texas Ranger · « **Reply #11 on:** August 19, 2003, 07:37:38 am »

I know! I know! It's a kumquat!

Texas Ranger · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2003, 07:38:43 am »

DanG, Jeff, I wish I thought of that one.

Jeff · « **Reply #13 on:** August 19, 2003, 12:57:33 pm »

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

Tom · « **Reply #14 on:** August 19, 2003, 03:21:47 pm »

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.

That there wouldn't be a nutmeg kinda tree would it?

Tom · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2003, 11:49:51 am »

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.

DanG, I shudda got that

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.

More like, pacahn.

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2003, 07:18:36 am »

That sounds right to me Don.

Tom,

Texas Ranger · « **Reply #20 on:** August 21, 2003, 11:06:28 am »
