The minute I saw the name Kaki....I knew exactly what you were talking about...I'm Italian as well and for the longest time, I thought that Kaki was the real and only word for this fruit.
Nice to know that they can grow in BC. Have you tried growing figs...they do well too. When I lived in Port Hardy, we had a fig tree that did well
