I've observed the same thing. I've never seen deer do more than taste
a persimmon leaf, then leave the tree alone. My impression is that the
foliage contains the same sorts of astringent compounds that make the
unripe fruit so unpleasant.

Do deer eat persimmon trees? I've got about 6 real nice small trees.
We have heavy deer pressure. To my surprise, it appears they have not
touched the leaves on the sprouts, which are about 4 feet tall. I know
they love the fruit. But it appears, from my experience, that they do
not like the leaves. Is that true? Jerry in southern Indiana
