Persimmons

Bounties of the Fall

For anyone that has not tasted the delectable Persimmon fruit, if you love peaches, a Persimmon is actually sweeter when it is ripe.  The key word to that statement is ripe.  You will get the puckers if it is not ripe, and they will last quite awhile.  Below is the tree that I was picking from this morning; as you can see, it was not overly tall, but required a ladder to reach that delicious bounty. 

Below you can hear Ikuko Kawai - She also does a Persimmon Lullabye Song which I
was unable to find on tube for your listening pleasure.
