Lawd, I have not had persimmons since I was little. We had 2 or 3 big trees in our yard and I took a bite of one that was not ripe, mercyyyyy, I never did it again. Thi is a great post!


I'll bet these ARE good! A very unique post, with thanks, Mark :)

Looks good! Do you really have to warn people to eat them fresh? It looks like you might not have to worry about them staying long!

anyone wanting to gab about childhood persimmon memories, please drop me a line...
