Hmmmm....seems Betty Lou is not the only one who does not know what a persimmon is or tastes like. I have seen them in the market, but if memory serves me correctly, they are red not green. Give us the scoop on ripeness color, season to buy and how to eat it and perhaps we can try one. Hugs, Marti |

Oh my stars ! Never knew so many had not enjoyed the Persimmon. Okay, Botanical Marge at your service. The 'old' varities of Persimmon are 'astringent' ... meaning that they need to ripen fully/soften to be eaten (or they'll pucker you). The 'new' varieties are 'non-astringent' meaning they may be eaten when they ripen but without being soft. Can be eaten like apples. Persimmons are wonderful for making yummy breads. And command GREAT $$$$ at the market. We have put several varieties in - Fuyu, Tanenashi, Saijo, Eureka, Hachiya - to mention a few. They do turn a beautiful soft golden orange color when ripened. Now you gals KNOW I'll keep you posted !  Hmmmmmm .... SongBird ? You get hold of an astringent one ?  *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I can't wait to get to the market to check out he soft, golden orange fruit. Thanks for all the info. One last question, when are they in season? BTW, no rose bushes like yours at this latest nursery. Lots of other beautiful plants though! I could have spent millions! Hugs ... |

SweetMarti~ Well ... ours are just putting on ... so figuring that growing and ripening takes about 60 days (+/-), ours should be ready to market/eat in mid-July~ But, I 'think' that those BIG growers probably use all that artificial stuff and market them whenever it suits their fancy~ We are REAL pleased with this new adventure so far~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Dixie~ You are just the busiest little beaver in town ! Looks like you stayed up all night digging ! I did a 'double-check' ... this fruit crop should ripen fully come August ! *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
