Nuts and fruits of trees (konomi)

***** Location: Japan
***** Season: Various in Autumn
***** Category: Plant

*****************************
Explanation

In autumn we have a lot of kigo using the expression

(name of tree) no mi

This MI 実 can be a fruit as in many fruit trees like apples and pears, an acorn, a nut, a seed or seedpot or any other form.

These fruits and acorns have a long list of their own, see below.
If in doubt, I translate the NO MI as "fruit".
Please help to find the correct word for your region.

If you do not find your tree, check here too :


. Trees / kigo in all seasons 　
Also trees with special green leaves (wakaba) in spring kigo.


. Berries as Kigo 　


. Also check the ABC index of the WKD.

団栗と転げくらする小猫哉
donguri to koroge-kurasuru koneko kana

the kitten
rolls around all day
with an acorn


This hokku is from the latter part of the 8th intercalary month (leap month; October) in 1824, about a month after Issa was divorced by his second wife after a marriage of just over two months. See Issa's Collected Works 4:500. At the beginning of this intercalary 8th month Issa had a slight stroke, and in the weeks that followed he stayed with several of his students.

The hokku is a revision of an earlier hokku written in the 9th month (October) of 1821:

donguri to hanetsu-kurasuru koneko kana

the kitten
spends the day pouncing
on an acorn

Carya Fruits (hickory nuts)
Hickory fruits consist of hard-shelled nuts, surrounded by a woody husk. The husk varies among species as to how easily it splits and whether the sutures are winged along part or all of their length.



The nuts are edible, although they vary in size and taste. Carya illinoinensis (pecan) and C. laciniosa (kingnut) are the largest and taste the best, whereas C. cordiformis (bitternut hickory) and C. glabra (pignut hickory) taste bad.

Olive fruit
kigo for autumn


Olive trees represent important strategic income in countries like Spain, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon. Yemen can depend on olives to replace the qat tree which consumes a large quantity of water and causes several diseases.
Ashami confirmed that olive trees have been planted among qat trees in Shibam Kawkaban and that families have realized economic success and increasing income by growing the plant.
