Are loaded here at the farm

Mine are bare of fruit. I usually don’t see any.

Looks like a fork so a mild winter

All my.trees are loaded.

Mine are seedless. I usually get around 400 bags of pulp a year

1. Find a locally-grown persimmon. (A locally-grown persimmon is necessary because it will reflect local conditions!) Wait to pick the fruit or cut into the fruit until after it gets a bit soft—almost mushy.

2. Open the fruit and cut open the persimmon seed.


3. Look at the shape of the kernel inside:

If the kernel is spoon-shaped, expect plenty of snow to shovel.
If it is fork-shaped, plan on a mild winter with powdery, light snow.
If the kernel is knife-shaped, expect frigid winds that will “cut” like a blade.
Never heard of this before...I seem to learn something new everyday on here...

I have a big persimmon tree that has good fruit but I had a smaller one, probably 7’ tall, that completely tore itself apart it had too many on it. I started to ask y’all the best way to save it from itself but I waited too late I guess. It delimbed itself

Got one in my yard and as usual its loaded. It is the self pruning variety as well. Always have to pick up limbs when it produces.

Looks like a spoon to me.

We had em on my Grand maws farm over in Fairhope , al and we had planted some in our back yard here in Mobile.... just about every year they were heavy with fruit....some times they'd get some called the blight to em ,,those black cysts in the pedals of the persimmon and some times they wouldn't get those cysts and sometimes in just a few of them......Man how I love those persimmons .... a good soft textured translucent orange colored one...sweet as honey.. I'm worse than the cookie monster for them things...nom nom nom

This is the best time to eat persimmons. Share them with friends. Hahaha

It was a spoon. Very green so hard to get the seed open without messing it up…

Deer, raccoon. opossum and coyote candy!

It's a spork.

Prepare for a confused cross dressing winter

Thats what I was thinking it was a spork too.... I wasnt thinking about that other part though....

The one in my yard is loaded as always. Already a few dropping.

We have one on our lease on the edge of a foodplot that's always loaded too. Have to check it soon. Good bow season stand.

Forecasted for mild and wet I heard according to a fishing show I listen to
