Teacher Fukuda has brought good news that one of the two kaki trees planted in Ushiku Daisan Junior High School on 12 March 2009 bore fruit for the first time. The second-year tree has grown so much that we were surprised. It is unusual for a kaki tree in the second year after the planting to bear fruit. It was very fortunate that the students have been carefully nurturing the trees and had chosen a good place with well-drained soil and plenty of sun. Keep up the good work everyone!
