PERSIMMONS

(Diosporyus species) Both Asian and American persimmons are very beautiful trees that produce delicious, sweet orange fruit. All the trees we offer are grafted and will have superior quality fruit on an early bearing tree.

Everything you wanted to know about persimmons but were afraid to ask. They are pretty tart fruits, and generally aren't eaten plain but made into jams, jellies, tarts, puddings, etc.

Answer 7

I think they ripen in fall. They are sweet and stickey, kind of like apricot jam. They do have a lot of small seeds in them which you don't want to eat. They used to grow on my grandparents ranch and the cows would eat them when they fell of the tree. I like them but haven't found them in stores.

Answer 8

they have a lot of seeds and a kind of unpleasant taste. i don't know about harvesting. but they aren't that good.
