Answer 1

Yes it's a fruit.....but DO NOT eat it if it isn't ripe. It's so sour you'll feel like your tonsils are coming up in your mouth...LOL

Answer 2

Persimmon

A deciduous fruit tree species, Diospyros kaki. Persimmons originated in the subtropical regions of China but were cultivated more extensively in Japan, the current leader in world production. Persimmons have been introduced to a number of temperate zone countries; however, they have not attained substantial popularity, and only small commercial plantings exist in the United States (primarily in California), Italy, Brazil, and Israel. Persimmon cultivars adapt to a wide climatic range. Although they have a low chilling requirement, they can tolerate temperatures as low as 5°F (?15°C) if they are dormant. However, areas with late spring and early fall temperatures below 27°F (?3°C) should be avoided, as young growth and maturing fruit will be damaged. Mean annual temperatures averaging 57–59°F (14–15°C) are required for good growth and quality. Multiple, selective harvests are done in late fall to ensure that the fruits achieve the desirable deep orange-red color.

Persimmons are clonally propagated by budding onto seedling rootstocks. Seed extracted from mature fruits of D. lotus, D. kaki, and D. virgiana are germinated in the greenhouse in the fall. Seedlings are transplanted in outdoor nursery rows when temperatures are over 55°F (13°C). For horticultural purposes, persimmons are classified as astringent or nonastringent. Astringent persimmons have water-soluble tannins in the flesh that decrease as the fruit softens to ripeness. They are conical in shape. Nonastringent persimmons are firm when ripe, as their soluble tannins decrease with pollination. They have an oblate shape. Astringent cultivars produce best in cool climates, whereas nonastringent types require hot, dry climates for good quality.

Answer 5

Yes persimmons are fruits that grow on trees. They usually ripen in the late summer in the middle US. They are sweeter the longer they stay on the tree. Very tasty!
