***Persimmon Identification Correction*** I referred to one of the Persimmon varieties as being an American Persimmon. It's, in fact, a Eureka Persimmon, a flat-bottom, astringent, heavy-bearing variety. As of 2020, we do own a Native/American/Common Persimmon, but it's not featured in this video. Sorry about the mixup.
I was feeling a little deflated when even your american persimmons were great big LOL We grow Prok, and it is much sweeter than other american types I have tasted, but also much smaller than what you showed, I thought....why it was so big Texas? LOL
Our native persimmons here in northwestern Arkansas are very small and astringent. The best ones are found on the ground. Ours are about the size of a cherry tomato, and are mostly seeds. However, the small amount of pulp in them is very good and sweet.
Your video is very informative and I enjoyed learning more about persimmons. We tried persimmon for the first time this year. It was a Fuyu. I didn't find seeds inside. I bought it at the Asian Market and it was definitely over priced. Almost $3 each and wanted to charge me higher prices for bigger ones. Same with the Asian pear. Saddened me because I thought she was a good person. Now I will look at the other Asian stores. We would love to grow persimmon tree(s). What is the best way to grow one?
I love persimmons no matter where the are from…my eyes light up when I see them.. Sweet and juicy the taste is like no other, introduced a friend to one few weeks ago She bought Four the following day 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
I lived in Japan for many years and love persimmons. The Japanese do a much better job of celebrating and enjoying fruits as they come into season. Just discovered your channel, love your fruit enthusiasm!
I used to live in Taiwan and had my first ever persimmon there! It was definitely the fuyu variety, and it became my favorite fruit instantly. Thanks for making such a detailed video on persimmons, I had no idea there were any varieties, let alone how different some of them seem!
I planted 2, japanese (thats all i got) a while back. Now i have over 10 trees, and gallons of little seedy fruits that taste amazing. Made my first ever persimmon vinegar! Yeehaw !
We Live in South Korea and persimmons are my wife's FAVORITE fruit and she eats a LOT of them. Thank you for this video as I learned a lot about the fruit here. We tried to grow one in central Wisconsin but it died the second winter. Sad. Also, I made a persimmon cake which is a heavy cake and very sweet!
saw some in the store the other day and asked my mom about them but it had been so long she couldn't recall the flavor or prep needs. So thank you for this video i will definitely have to try one, love trying new flavors:)
I live on Ohio and I have one growing in my field randomly. So I've become very curious of them since I've never seen them b4. So glad to learn more about them. Great video
You did a marvelous job of producing and narrating this video. You have a sweet voice and excellent diction. Note: I have tried the Sapote, and although it looks like chocolate pudding, it tastes nothing like that, and not nearly as good as a persimmon.
Absolutely my favorite fruit. The Hachiya is very good. I tried eating the wild Maryland persimmons, but never could because of the tannin content.The fragrant wild persimmons hanging by the hundreds from the boughs in the autumn, is something I'll never forget.
This vlog post has answered many questions about the persimmon. Over the last few years,I have become an obsessed fan of this fruit. Also, believe it or not, most persimmon prices here in NYC start at $3.99 each and go up.
This has literally been the most informative video-or really anything, including articles-on persimmons that I've been able to find. By (very) far. Thank you so, so much! One of my family's go-to treats during Thanksgiving & Christmas is persimmon bread-and the first time I tried to make it on my own, I made the mistake of using Hachiya rather than Fuyu because I had no idea there were so many varieties. MASSIVE difference. Might as well have used sand instead of flour to make the bread when I used Hachiya. This year, though, all I can find is "Sharon fruit", which is evidently a variety from Israel that has diminished tannins? I haven't tried them yet, but fingers crossed. Thanks again! Also.........I miss HEB!
Thank you so much! I've made persimmon jam before using the Eureka persimmons (the ones I incorrectly called American persimmons in the video). I didn't realize that some were not completely ripe, and the jam was bitter with tannins. That was a tough learning experience. Make sure astringent persimmons are fully ripe (and/or take out the middle core) 😅
I just tried one for the first time! It was a fuyu and had a texture like an apple, but much sweeter than any apple I've ever had. Very much like honey. I really enjoyed ^^ So I had to find a video to learn more about them. Thank you for educating us! Great video :) I hope to try more varieties of this fruit.
I have just watched a few videos on persimmons and I'm so glad I let the auto-play do it's thing because I heard you speaking and you gave the BEST descriptions of any one else I heard. I love all the details you give and the corrections in the comments. New sub and thank you so much!!
I love this video and persimmons. I particularly LOVE the astringent ones. Yes they take longer to ripen but benefit is super sweet, soft, and delicious fruit.
Excellent video... I just planted 3 Jiro Persimmon trees & 2 Kieffer pears in a small grove in Southern Ohio....I'm putting a 2 person tree house/deer stand just uphill from the 5 fruit trees......there's a lot of deer in my area...
Live in Calif and I love them especially when they get really dark and soft and mushy and almost liquid and you can suck them out of the skin or use a spoon I never get enough of them
Great info, thank you. I've been in Ljubljana Slovenia in October and they were sellng hacija in the market. The fruits were so ripe the skin was almost translucent and thin. Loved them.
Absolutely fabulous video on everything Persimmons. I had a Fuyu tree for 30 years. We hired an arborist who sprayed several of our trees and it killed our Fuyu tree. We tried everything to prevent its demise but it just kept looking like a slow burn tree. 😭😭I use Nextdoor to buy from neighbors who sell at 2-3 for 1$. I just bought 40 to share but they are a bit hard. Still ok to eat but need a bit more ripening. Thanks again for sharing.
Great video! Def explains why my mouth feels fuzzy now 😆 I added the Hachiya to a fruit salad I made for myself and just assumed they were going to be similar to Fuyu in that you can eat the flesh. Well🤓 Thank you for clearing that up!!
My local garden center will be planting a Fuji Persimmon tree in my yard this week. Thank you for your beautiful video. It makes me happy to know that I am joining the persimmon tree family. I am really looking forward to eating my first persimmon from my tree in the near future.
This is such a well rounded amount of information in a surprisingly short video. Many other presenters would have drawn this out for an hour. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. As a child we had a persimmon tree that was my favorite...it had a custard type of flesh when ripe. Seems like it had a pointed bottom. I would like to find that variety which is why I clicked on this video. Thanks again and Jesus bless from a fellow Texan.
I’m just learning about persimmons now ! I love trying and growing new foods 😊. What an excellent teacher you are . Thank you! I’m in NC zone 6a . What cultivars do you suggest?
Thank you so much for this video, I was just given some persimmons didn’t know what to do with him or know how to tell when it was ripe. Thank you does help me not waste any fruit by cutting it open too soon
Very informative video. We live in Maryland and planted a Fuju Persimmon tree about 7 years ago (2013) . It’s done really well year after year. Last year - Maryland had a lot of rain & most of our fruit dropped. This year - 2020 - we have had a bumper crop of grapefruit-size fruit. We just picked about 20 perfect Fuyus - so tasty. I keep the tree pruned to about 8 ft tall, so fruit is easy to pick. We’re in Zone 7.
We have persimmons everywhere down here in Mississippi. I have access to the hachiya and American persimmons. My sister has a huge american persimmon tree. We went to a farm and picked some fuyu persimmons this fall. The feeling the unripe fruit gives your mouth the old timers around here call it "drawing your mouth out!". Ive never had a variety that wasnt astringent i guess. Great informational video, thanks.
I was lucky to try my first one just now and it was a fuyu. It wasn't chalky and it was very sweet! I highly recommend. It sounds like a lot of the other varieties I wouldn't enjoy quite so much if they are astringent, blegh.
I have a fuyu persimmon tree. But after watching your video I'm not so sure. The owners of my property were horticulturist and there a number of hybrid plants in the yard. There are chocolate shades in some of the persimmons, some are astringent, but not this year. Lots of large seeds. They are between tear drop and squat in shape. I have whole dried, made curry soups, salsa, dehydrated, salads, smoothies or eat them like apples. I sell them to local farmers market farmers and they resell them. Your video is fantastic! I say I have suffered this tree because I couldn't pawn them off to my neighbors and didn't know how else to do with them other than let then fall to the ground to feed to javalina, deer, birds, etc. Thank you so much for the video!
My neighbor has a hachia and I just tried eating one of the fruits. It was soft to the touch and the skin wrinkled under pressure, but the fruit was still very astringent and chalky. I collected the seeds plant. I didn't care for the fruit but the tree looks beautiful with not leafs only orange fruits on it. Thank you for the video.
This was very informative and I didn't know that there are so many varieties. I spend part of the year in central Texas but have never seen these at the HEB only the Asian market. I have been eating hachiya persimmons my whole life but didn't know much about them. Living in the Northeast the rest of the year I only find them in stores during Sept. to end of October. I have recently started eating the Fuyu and equally love it.
I love, love persimmons. Once I discovered them I began to think how underrated they are. Persimmons are one of my favorite fruit. I find them very expensive in my area when they’re in season. I bought 4 persimmons at Publix for $5.00. I use to buy persimmons in New York 33 cents for one, but that was years ago. I’d love to plant a tree in my back yard.
I love persimmons too, but they can be expensive, especially at non-Asian market stores. The trees are super easy to grow! Most varieties are self-fertile, cold hearty, require very little pruning, and be prolific fruit producers! We have four types so far: American (you'll need male and female trees), Eureka, Hachiya, and Fuyu!
In 2021, I planted an Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro persimmon tree, and I hope it will bear fruit by two more seasons. It’s a non-astringent variety, and hardy in my zone (7). It’s also a compact variety, and with proper pruning, I should be able to keep it to 8’ high.
I just bought some for the first time ever wanted to try something different your information was easy to understand very informative and helped me understand each type thankyou
Thanks for the video. 👍 The differentiation you share about each type is helpful. The cost info is also helpful. Would have like more emphasis on the nutrition. The fruits full of vitamin C are antioxidants that fight many chronic diseases. Other fruits and vegetables may have lots of potassium that help with for example blood pressure. I just purchased 2 perssimons at Meijer for 98 per fruit. Just sayin... Stay Blessed
We have an American Persimmon tree that fruited for the first time last year (2020). Those are by far my favorite persimmons! I describe the taste as punch-your-mouth sweet! Lol Every time I ate one (the tree didn’t produce many persimmons), I was taken aback by how sugary sweet they were! I’d love to have more trees. I believe you’ll have to have a ‘male’ tree around for pollination; we have a male persimmon tree that produces flowers in the spring. This year (2021), I think we’ll have more American Persimmons on our tree! 😁
I tasted this fruit for the 1st time yesterday oh wow nice&sweet😋My niece thought it was tomatoes but also said she never saw an orange tomato in color.
Chocolate parsimon has an amazing taste. I love to eat it although I not a foody person at all. But chocolate persimmon which is hard and it has seeds inside it and has many brown spots inside is amazing.
Great video! I live in Alabama, and have a neighbor who unexpectedly gave me a large bag of persimmons. I’ve never grown or seen persimmon trees, and had no idea what variety the neighbor gave me. I think these were blown off the tree by a storm, so they were green when she gave them to me. I didn’t know what to do with them, so put them in my fridge. They ripened enough to eat, although they didn’t get past a light yellow-orange color. They were completely gel-like inside. VERY sweet, just like honey, and chocolate brown or cinnamon-flecked flesh.
There are small persimmons in the temperate heartland of the US that grow on bushes. They taste like dates, and are sometimes used to make a pudding that is eaten warm with whipped cream.
Grew up collecting and eating America persimmon. My mom followed a family recipe dating back to colonial days for persimmon pudding it was more like a wet cake. It was delicious. I've tried and all most perfected making it. It was a bit challenging since it was written in measurements i had not used. Example a mound , a lump, a heapbetter. And it said to bake in oven. But on what temperature. Took a few tries.
I’m in NC and some of the trees here get ripe early but most are ripe after cold weather. Some say the fruit is not good until after the 1st frost..... The tree in my yard ripens early and makes great persimmon pudding👍👍
I found a study some time back, and it basically boils down to, they need so many hours of so much cold to taste good. On a hot year, they might be looking ripe but still not had enough chill time to be at their best.On a cold year, they might taste better earlier in the year.Probably, on average, by the time we get to having our first frost, the chill hours have been met, so it looks like it's the frost. We have "Prok" variety american type. The best that I have tasted by far. This fall has been hot and dry, and the fruit was not as good as on an average year. Mid Missouri 6a
I grew up in Asheville and can say for sure you had better wait for first frost up in the mountains. Frost up there comes well before ripening season. I live in Ga now and have a tree luckily in my back yard. We don't get first frost down here until November usually but the persimmons start ripening in October and lasts for 2 to 3 weeks. I wait for them to hit the ground. Usually compete some with the deer for them but we both manage to get all we want I think. 30 foot tree and it's full most years.
Such an informative video! Glad I came across your channel. I just purchased my first Hachiya persimmon. It feels heavy in hand and I can't wait for it to ripen. Looking forward to trying this fruit.
Excellent video. Loaded with informative and very helpful information. Will be on the lookout for the cinnamon persimmon. Really would like to experience the flavor. Good job on the video!
Thank you. My first introduction to persimmon was in Glendale CA. I guess it was a astringent variety. They would fall off a tree and overhang on public street.plenty of bees and wasps. Fith grade. We tasted and didn't like.We ended up throwing them at each other.We did see a film about the tomato throwing in Italy. I do see them in stores more often now.Not on my bucket list.
This is the best video on persimmons. I have planted a number of American persimmons (Maryland) but I'd like to try some of the others you discussed. Thank you

Hi
Did u try it. This is the season. In Indian store we get it for 2.49 a lb
Thanks for sharing your knowledge !

I bought a house with a Hachiya Tree this year ,first time I have ever tasted one in my life and Im hooked thanks for this video very informative
I’m new to this fruit but like it good to finally learn more about it thank you for sharing
Absolutely my favorite fruit. The Hachiya is very good. I tried eating the wild Maryland persimmons, but never could because of the tannin content.The fragrant wild persimmons hanging by the hundreds from the boughs in the autumn, is something I'll never forget.

I agree. They are the best tasting.
Love persimmons!!! Thank you so much for explaining the great benefits of this heavenly fruit.
Love to see soon a new video of what other ways to mix persimmons with other fruits or veggies?
One of the best fruits I have eaten.
Excellent video...
I just planted 3 Jiro Persimmon trees & 2 Kieffer pears in a small grove in Southern Ohio....I'm putting a 2 person tree house/deer stand just uphill from the 5 fruit trees......there's a lot of deer in my area...
Thanks dear, this is the most exhaustive and concise video on any fruit I've ever seen, I love persimmons
This is one of the most informative, well thought out videos I’ve come across in a long time! Great job and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much!
EXCELLENT💯💯💯 LOT OF KNOWLEDGE
Live in Calif and I love them especially when they get really dark and soft and mushy and almost liquid and you can suck them out of the skin or use a spoon I never get enough of them
Great info, thank you. I've been in Ljubljana Slovenia in October and they were sellng hacija in the market. The fruits were so ripe the skin was almost translucent and thin. Loved them.
Great job, with all the information I was looking for!
What an interesting and useful video! thank you!
Awesome video. You explained all the different varieties with clarity.
Thank you so much!
Tried it 1st time today I luv luv wow wow very expensive but good
Absolutely fabulous video on everything Persimmons. I had a Fuyu tree for 30 years. We hired an arborist who sprayed several of our trees and it killed our Fuyu tree.

Awesome video. Thanks for posting. Monica, NYC
I have been eating them for years.Cannot wait each year’s end to have my fill love it.
I load up on persimmons each year! They’re so good! 😊
Great video! Def explains why my mouth feels fuzzy now 😆 I added the Hachiya to a fruit salad I made for myself and just assumed they were going to be similar to Fuyu in that you can eat the flesh. Well🤓 Thank you for clearing that up!!

Awesome! Fuyus are the best first-time persimmon variety, and the trees are easy to grow once they’re established.
Çok teşekkür ediyorum. Bilgilendirme ve emeğiniz için. Bol ürün almanız dileğiyle.
This is such a well rounded amount of information in a surprisingly short video. Many other presenters would have drawn this out for an hour.

I would like to find that variety which is why I clicked on this video. Thanks again and Jesus bless from a fellow Texan.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm still discovering new varieties since this video! 😊
The pointed bottom kind is called Hachiya, it's astringent.
I’m just learning about persimmons now ! I love trying and growing new foods 😊. What an excellent teacher you are . Thank you! I’m in NC zone 6a . What cultivars do you suggest?
Thank you so much for this video, I was just given some persimmons didn’t know what to do with him or know how to tell when it was ripe. Thank you does help me not waste any fruit by cutting it open too soon
Thank you so much! It’s important to know what type you have, for sure. 😊

I just found your channel and think you're great! Thanks for the helpful fun info and sharing your experience!
Shamrockgirl, that was the most thorough explanation of the persimmon varieties in English that I ever seen. Thk U!
Great presentation . Persimmons are a little known fruit and this was a welcome video. 😄
very good video.
Thanks for uploading this! I learned a lot. 👍👍
We have persimmons everywhere down here in Mississippi. I have access to the hachiya and American persimmons. My sister has a huge american persimmon tree.

Thank-you for the video..I found a tree on my bus route..my mom and I love them & I have considered getting a tree to plant
Just do it
I have a fuyu persimmon tree. But after watching your video I'm not so sure. The owners of my property were horticulturist and there a number of hybrid plants in the yard.

You sound just as sweet as the persimmons your video is about! Very good video! Excellent information, I learned so much about this fruit. Thank you!!
Thank you for making video on my favourite fruit I absolutely love it
This was very informative and I didn't know that there are so many varieties. I spend part of the year in central Texas but have never seen these at the HEB only the Asian market.

Thx you!! Finally answered my question. Love persimmons and now need an orchard
In 2021, I planted an Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro persimmon tree, and I hope it will bear fruit by two more seasons. It’s a non-astringent variety, and hardy in my zone (7). It’s also a compact variety, and with proper pruning, I should be able to keep it to 8’ high.
I just bought some for the first time ever wanted to try something different your information was easy to understand very informative and helped me understand each type thankyou

Good job explaining about Persimmons!
Just planted 25 bare root stock of the American Persimmon this spring. (2021) Cant wait to see them grow!

I tasted this fruit for the 1st time yesterday oh wow nice&sweet😋My niece thought it was tomatoes but also said she never saw an orange tomato in color.
thanks for the video, nice to see people caring for their fruit.
Excellent video full of good information. Well done, Ma'am, and thank you! 💕
Yes good to see this persimmons.......it resembles same like red riped tomatoes.....exactly....
I absolutely loved your video! I just was gifted a bag of Fuyu persimmons today. I know what to do with them now! Happy Holidays to you!!
Chocolate parsimon has an amazing taste.
I love to eat it although I not a foody person at all. But chocolate persimmon which is hard and it has seeds inside it and has many brown spots inside is amazing.
They need to fully RIPEN. TAKES A LONG TIME
Great video! I live in Alabama, and have a neighbor who unexpectedly gave me a large bag of persimmons. I’ve never grown or seen persimmon trees, and had no idea what variety the neighbor gave me. I think these were blown off the tree by a storm, so they were green when she gave them to me. I didn’t know what to do with them, so put them in my fridge. They ripened enough to eat, although they didn’t get past a light yellow-orange color. They were completely gel-like inside. VERY sweet, just like honey, and chocolate brown or cinnamon-flecked flesh.
Very clarifying, thanks for the info! I love them... i can't wait to try that chocolate variety...
There are small persimmons in the temperate heartland of the US that grow on bushes. They taste like dates, and are sometimes used to make a pudding that is eaten warm with whipped cream.
So thorough thank you!
Super informational and we'll researched good job!
Thanks! I was gifted some persimmons from a friend's tree and wasn't sure what type or what to do with them.
Thank you very much, very informative.
I have planted a persimmon tree in Germany since 2011, the variety is Tipo and I harvest my own fruit almost every November.
Very informative video. Thank you so much for making this 😁
we had an free from the chocolate variant when I was an child. it was very good
I didn't know you could eat persimmons. You did a good job on this video. Thank you for the information.
I love this fruit I don’t care how much they are...
Great video! My wife slices fuyu persimmons and bakes them with a little olive oil and cinnamon, makes for a healthy and delicious treat
Grew up collecting and eating America persimmon. My mom followed a family recipe dating back to colonial days for persimmon pudding it was more like a wet cake. It was delicious. I've tried and all most perfected making it. It was a bit challenging since it was written in measurements i had not used. Example a mound , a lump, a heapbetter. And it said to bake in oven. But on what temperature. Took a few tries.
Sounds good I’d love to try it,have you tried starting high temp and lowering it as it gets closer to being done. Like a pie kind of.
I’m in NC and some of the trees here get ripe early but most are ripe after cold weather. Some say the fruit is not good until after the 1st frost..... The tree in my yard ripens early and makes great persimmon pudding👍👍
I found a study some time back, and it basically boils down to, they need so many hours of so much cold to taste good. On a hot year, they might be looking ripe but still not had enough chill time to be at their best.On a cold year, they might taste better earlier in the year.Probably, on average, by the time we get to having our first frost, the chill hours have been met, so it looks like it's the frost.
We have "Prok" variety american type. The best that I have tasted by far. This fall has been hot and dry, and the fruit was not as good as on an average year. Mid Missouri 6a
I grew up in Asheville and can say for sure you had better wait for first frost up in the mountains. Frost up there comes well before ripening season. I live in Ga now and have a tree luckily in my back yard. We don't get first frost down here until November usually but the persimmons start ripening in October and lasts for 2 to 3 weeks. I wait for them to hit the ground. Usually compete some with the deer for them but we both manage to get all we want I think. 30 foot tree and it's full most years.
I love Fuyu among other persimmons. ❤️ it!
I am going to try my first persimmon. If I remember, I will let you know!
Wow! Such a helpful video. Thx!
Great content. This was very helpful.
wow, great informative video, sis :)
excellent, well researched information, nice voice & prepared presentation.
Such an informative video! Glad I came across your channel. I just purchased my first Hachiya persimmon. It feels heavy in hand and I can't wait for it to ripen. Looking forward to trying this fruit.
Excellent video. Loaded with informative and very helpful information. Will be on the lookout for the cinnamon persimmon. Really would like to experience the flavor. Good job on the video!
Wow very well done video. Thank you!
I love all kinds of persimmon, I love it hard, because I love the crunchy…
Very nice video....I loved it
Thank you. My first introduction to persimmon was in Glendale CA. I guess it was a astringent variety. They would fall off a tree and overhang on public street.plenty of bees and wasps. Fith grade. We tasted and didn't like.We ended up throwing them at each other.We did see a film about the tomato throwing in Italy. I do see them in stores more often now.Not on my bucket list.
Excelente me encanta me fascina esa fruta!
a perfect video for buying and growing pers. trees
Wow I love this fruits Persimmon, I miss it
This is the best video on persimmons. I have planted a number of American persimmons (Maryland) but I'd like to try some of the others you discussed. Thank you
