Stand in awe of the full harvest from our persimmon tree!

This is the first year it’s produced so we are very excited. I know what you’re thinking. We harvested too soon. But my wife actually likes them still crunchy and we have to harvest before the deer get to them…

I don't think I've ever tried these before. They look yummy!

These are really under-ripe. Do they still taste good when they're so green?

How old is your tree(s)?

I tried to get some wild persimmons to make some wine, but the birds got to them first. Oh well, I'll try again next year.

Put 'em in a paper bag with a banana and they'll be ripe in no time!
