Iffen it were sweet and delicious it weren’t a simmon . If hour lips puckered up and you couldn’t spit or talk then you had a green simmon! I will wait til they start falling off the tree and are deep orange color before I eat mine.

I know sir! I aint fool enough to eat one now??? I was just wonderin if they were natives or not.

The trick to this harvest is gonna be gettin to em before the hogs. These are right in the center of a hog pen that i just moved.

It sure looks like one to me. I don’t have much exposure to Japanese or other high faulting types. Been seeing native ones all my life,tried a green one once, that makes me an authority on astringency. Are there a lot of them up where you are? Old grownup fields and hedge rows down this way have plenty.

I feel like we have a good bit. These are younger trees so i guess the bark looks different. Thats what had me wonderin.

Leaves and fruit shout persimmon. I love working with the wood too, super hard and beautiful.

I'd say it's a regular old 'simmon. Most of the cultivars and selections have downy twigs. That'un looks slick.

Hogs may eat the bark off and kill it.

They aint to bad about eatin bark, but they do rub on em. I'll put a little wire fence around it?

That thing will look like it has been planted in a feed lot in a couple months.

I love my persimmons but don't want any growing near where I park vehicles. They spew sap spots for a 50 ft radius.
