harvest that maple for carving wood. persimmons were always a special treat when I was growing up. dewberries in the spring and persimmons in the late fall.
Grew up on persimmon pie. So good!
thanks for posting! it's July 22nd three years later and i just found some new trees with fruits still green. I'll mark where they are and come back later
Persimmon fruit spread goes well with almond butter.
We so enjoy your tree identification videos. I know what the mature bark looks like, but have never seen a young tree. Identifying the useful trees as we clear parts of our land for agriculture and animals is critical. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 🙂
Yum
Persimmon pudding, yum!
I'm impressed!!!
Do you harvest on the tree or use drop clothes and harvest the fallen ones???
I'm praying for your persimmons harvest and that you only get light rains, so sad to see hundreds of burst open persimmons.
Persimmon is also a weather forecaster. When you cut it open there will be a shape that looks like a knife, fork, or spoon that indicates the winter coming up. I don't know the meaning of each utensil.
Pat Skelton I was taught that a spoon means lots of snow, fork is a mild winter and a knife means ice. Been pretty accurate for us.
Wow, never knew that. Very intetesting.
I planted 12 of them last winter on my place. The state forestry folks called and asked if I wanted some to plant.
persimmons make a really fine wine!
sam jett they make an excellent flavored mead as well.
We always eat them after the 1st frost .
I've go probably 15 persimmon seedlings in a bucket to transplant this fall...easy to start from seed.
I have one that for the nine years that I’ve lived here barely had any fruit. It had an oak tree and a couple other trees in close proximity to it. I cut them down and now the persimmons are so plentiful the lower branches are nearly touching the ground. I have two others in the same situation and I’ll be clearing them out shortly. I did not know about the vitamin content, guess I’ll be making some preserves this fall.
Theres 2 on my property.1 is about 60'tall but i have to beat the deer,bees,&red wasps to them.:)
Thanks for the info Danny. Persimmons and paw-paws both grow here in Mo., but are getting harder to find.
Never seen one before. This was interesting. Thank you for taking the time to show the leaves and bark of an older and a young tree to make them easy to identify.Very informative.
There was a large persimmon tree just over the fence on my neighbor's property. She cut it down. Hurt my feelings real bad.
Very interesting !
Cool, I never had a persimmon but they look really good. Thank you for the information about them. God bless you always.
Wow! I don’t think I have ever seen one of these trees where I live.
We have a wild persimmon tree .It only produced once. Someone told me there are male trees and female trees. Have you heard of this? There has to be both in your area for fertilization.
carol parrish we only have one that I can find on our land, but it produces every year that we don't have a late frost. We do have Male and female muscadine vines though - one we were sure was Male surprised us this year and set fruit for the first time in years.
Thanks
You are correct - the native wild persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is dioecious - meaning there are male and female trees. Some folks graft limbs from the female trees onto the males & vice versa to ensure pollination and fruit production on all trees.
Mr. Danny we were wondering what those were all over our property! Looks just like the tree you describe in this video!
We have one extremely tall on our property - lots of fruit this year as well. We often lose setting fruit to late frosts. We love reading the seeds for winter predictions.
How do you store and use them?
We separate the pulp from the hull and seed and freeze the pulp.
Thanks! Now that I know how easy they are to propagate, I'll try and start more with the seeds we don't use for forecasting.
I have these trees everywhere on my 75 acre property.There is all different sizes of trees but I have only two that produce fruit. Do you know why this happens ?
Haven’t had a wild persimmon in 60 years. In WV.
we had those in our yards growing up... my mom had me eat one before it got ripe... oh.. eek.. she thought it was funny...
Very interesting. I don't believe I've ever eaten persimmon
My Mother used to take us kids and go get them before they were ripe. She laid them out and allowed them to ripen. Then we ate them! If we didn't do it that way, old man possum would eat them all!!
I've never seen a persimmons tree in my life until my next door neighbor put a tree in his yard. Over the years I watched as the red fruit would appear and the crows and other birds would have a feast on the fruit. One year a branch grew over the fence and I was able to watch as the fruit grew and dropped on my side of the fence. I never tasted a persimmons much less how to eat it. I had to look it up on the internet. I learned you can eat them like an apple, so I took a bite. It was delicious.
My neighbor never took care of the tree. I guess he considered it a nuisance because he never harvested the fruit and allowed the birds to eat it. I asked if he would be willing to share some of the fruit, but I really got a straight answer from him, such are neighbors in California. They tend to stick to themselves unless you have something they really want.
Anyway, I went to Home Depot to see if I can get a tree of my own. It took 15 months to get one. It seems they are a specialty item and you have to special order them. So I finally got one. I planted it in my back yard and in the next few years I too hope to have my own fruit.
I learned that you can dry them and eat them like apple chips, you can of course eat them like an apple. So I will be looking to see what more that can be done with persimmons on a long term basis. Perhaps some of you can come up with some ideas that you are willing to share.
Jumpoff A persimmon pie sauce jelly jams lots of options.
Thanks that is a very good idea.
Seen several of em around here. Ain’t found none in my holler though. I always heard about killing possums out of em
Danny, where did you get all your knowledge? Do you think wild persimmons can make it here in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona?
I guess I won't be growing persimmons. No humidity here at all and lots of hot wind!
The trees here have dropped all their fruit!
jerry prewett wow.... are yours domesticated or are you super deep south? Here in North GA our wild ones are very green. We don't harvest until around 1st frost.
I was about to send you a pic of a wild tree here at my place. It's a wild persimmon. Glad to know that. Now my problem is, it was full of persimmons just the size as in the video but now they are all gone. What do you think could have gotten them?
Edie Boudreau thank you. Couldn't imagine what would like unripened persimmons.
Comeaux Creek Homestead just about every critter there is.lol. just like squirrel rats & deer will even eat the whole tomato plant.
We had coyotes that chased a skunk for 500 feet and it was getting sprayed. Only thing left of the skunk was the white fur stripe down its back. Had to have be very hungry to eat such a horrible meal. The pasture stunk forever seems like.
