Bev, to know what you have you will probably have to see mature  
fruit. Or observe the tree from spring to fall. Again, normal orange  
persimmons can start fruit life in a blue coloration. Many fruit  
trees self-thin by dropping early fruit, the dried-out results of  
which may well be what you see on the ground.
