I just did! Seemed really super sweet and delicious! Super refreshing! I think you should try one down yonder and we could compare notes??
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.

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.

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

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.
