La giuggiola, o giuggiolo, appartiene a quella categoria di frutti cosiddetti poveri, anche colpevolmente dimenticati
Ziziphus zizyphus (from Greek ζίζυφον, zizyfon), commonly called jujube, red date, or chinese date, is a species of Ziziphus in the buckthorn family Rhamnaceae, used primarily for its fruits. Common names in Arabic are nabq, dum, tsal, sadr, zufzuuf (in Morocco) and sidr, the last of which also means Ziziphus lotus. In Persian it is called anab or annab , a name also used in lebanon. The Romans were the first people in Europe to grow it; till now its name in the dialect of the venetian region is "zizoea". Its precise natural distribution is uncertain due to extensive cultivation, but is thought to be in southern Asia, between Lebanon, Pakistan, northern India, the Korean peninsula, and southern and central China, and also southeastern Europe though more likely introduced there. I found it in Riviera Ligure, near Genoa. It is a small deciduous tree or shrub reaching a height of 5–10 m, usually with thorny branches. The leaves are shiny-green, ovate-acute, 2–7-cm wide and 1–3-cm broad, with three conspicuous veins at the base, and a finely toothed margin. The flowers are small, 5-mm wide, with five inconspicuous yellowish-green petals. The fruit is an edible oval drupe 1.5–3-cm deep; when immature it is smooth-green, with the consistency and taste of an apple, maturing brown to purplish-black and eventually wrinkled, looking like a small date. There is a single hard stone similar to an olive stone Many thanks in advance to everyone who will pass by visiting my shots. Comments are appreciated. You are welcome!

È l'antico quartiere dove vi porto spesso, su e giù per le creuze. Qui ho fotografato ulivi e biciclette, gatti vagabondi ed assonnati, fili da stendere, edicole e mollette, finestre dalle imposte socchiuse e archetti tesi contro il cielo blu. È il Carmine, con le sue magie uniche e rare. E da quando scrivo questo…
