My birthday tree For Christmas trees, it is early, right a bit, but it for my birthday tree. I know I have something just since we live in Ticino, because November is about the only month that we have never seen in Ticino. Just in time for my birthday, the Khaki trees dropped their leaves and let their orange-red glow balls. Harvested, the fruit usually after the first frost, so that most Trees are harvested shortly after my birthday.
One exception is our neighbor. His khaki tree is just outside my kitchen window. During the last days he has dropped his colored leaves and looked beautiful, my birthday parade tree. On Wednesday evening, however, against the neighbor has decided to harvest his khakis, either boil it or jam he sets out to freeze out somewhere. This is a common species, a few weeks, always ready to say, the frozen khakis to have at hand, I see anywhere on window ledges are garden tables and khakis. This is our neighbor, but an atypical Ticino, a very systematic man so he does not have the tree simply empty picked, has not at one side, for example, where he beikann good, everything has been harvested, no, he has uniformly thinned out on the whole tree, the fruit and the rest left to hang for the birds. He has already made the past years. So his khaki tree is also my bird feeder; all winter I see the different birds eat here. Maybe I can show you in the course of the winter a few. So here is his tree on 17 November 2007: 
And they can also look, before picking:
