Blanche, this was excellent. They grow abundantly here in northwest Arkansas.

Thank you for your sweet comment!

Excellent as usual. I think I pursued the most curiosities in this video over all of your others; from the song/artist,, to black haw fruit, to crystalized sugar on fruit's exterior (I thought it was mold also when I noticed a little on one you found on the ground), to using seeds for coffee... I can say I bought and planted a Meader American Persimmon tree last fall. It was developed to be self-pollinating and hardy for colder zones (though I live in zone 7 and I have seen at least one in the wild).. I love your artistic touches, too. Thanks!

I try to make my presentations visually intriguing as well as informative. I like to present new info so they're not boring. You're the 2nd person to mention the Meader Persimmon (which I wasn't aware of)--I guess it's self pollinating and can tolerate the cold. And thanks for your kind comments about this video -- I put a lot of effort into each one I make.

I'm jealous that you have ripe ones so early, and some with structural integrity to them! I live far further south and find them not to be palatable until they're fully the gross-looking blobs, often well into November.

[@thederb720]

I think it may be the variety of Persimmon that I have available here. I just discovered one with fruits that are just starting to turn orange. I believe these will be ready in November--I'll have to wait and see...

[@nancymathisen9707]

Some persimmons can produce fruits without a pollinator. (Meader for example).

[@thederb720]

i didn't know that--thanks for the info.

I love these videos! I've been making persimmon leaf tea too. I recently learned that in Korea they steam the leaves after they dry them and then dry them again. I'm not sure what effect this extra process has on the final tea.

[@thederb720]

I have no idea why the Koreans do this. I'll have to try doing it and see if there's any difference in the taste.
