Bev, 

Does the fruit have the calyx like a persimon?  As Gene said, persimmons are 
misty blue, just like a blueberry, before they begin to ripen.  The fruit on 
the ground isn't necessarily ripe fruit, the tree prunes its fruit all sesson 
and drops off fruit at all stages.

Are you sure it's not a persimmon because of its bark and foliage?
