All the leaves blew off, and a lot of persimmons yesterday, lol.

Anyone fool with them?
Kids made jam.about 15 years ago.
Guess no one liked it, lol

If they are ripe, they are very good. We used to have a couple of trees but they died.

I've watched deer stand up on their hind legs to eat them.

I think everyone should taste an unripe persimmon at least once...just for the experience

I have 3 persimmon trees and no persimmons. I understand there are male and female trees so I guess all mine are males. I wish one of them would transition!

The flesh is delicious. The skin makes "banana strings" seem like a mouthfeel walk in the park.

My grandfather got me with an unripe one about 60 years ago. I still remember it.

I've " introduced " a lot of folks to unripe persimmons over the years, lol

But do you get a lot of deer in the freezer that way?

I thought you had to wait for the first frost to harvest them?
