Talk:Zero no Tsukaima:Volume8 Chapter2 - MTL
Date tree?[edit]
Mother often complained about the house across the streets and its terrible red walls. Saito took the time to “borrow” a couple fruits from the neighbor’s date tree.
Date tree? that's strange... well first I don't think dates grow on "trees" at least strictly scientifically speaking. The "trees" are called palms. But that isn't really the real problem I see here... Isn't it strange for dates to grow in Japan? Maybe in the southern islands it wouldn't be that strange like Kyushu or Shikoku... (And even then... from the pictures I saw from those areas... it doesn't really seem like palms grow there...) And wasn't Saito from Tokyo? At least he seemed to imply so when he was called a country boy... Well dates could probably grow anywhere in the world if someone really wanted them to grow... But I'm suspicious about the translation here. Just wish if someone can confirm if this makes any sense. And yes I know it's a dream... But still up until that point everything made sense.--Stealth 22:23, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

It is "persimmon". Corrected. --Zyzzyva165 22:38, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
