Hello Richard,
Happy Thanksgiving. I was more concerned as to who the lady was. I suspect
she was from California because of the other pictures on the same photo
paper.
The persimmon in could very well be native persimmon but leaned more toward
the kaki side because I believe it was in California. It is virtually
impossible with the exception of very few varieties to identify them from the
picture. No need to take a picture of yours.
Thanks,
Jerry
