Well, I can't find my book right now, so I'll get back to you on that one.

Did you watch the meteor show? It was spectacular here!

Sorry it has taken me so long to write..my life is full of drama these days...
Yes, I suppose it could be a blue persimmon. The ones I found were dried out, and if the blues mature when the orange ones do, then that is probably what I have. My only hangup with this is that the trees are growing wild in the woods, not likely genetic cultivars. That would mean that I have rare trees, and I really don't think I'm that special to have such rare 'natural' mature trees.
I went out and looked at the tree again, and I see no fruit on the tree right now, but then again, it's a tall tree, not like the other persimmons I have on the property. And that's another thing..with so many orange persimmons, wouldn't the blue strain be watered down over time?? These 'blue' trees would be at least 40-50 years old, maybe 15 inches in diameter...I have trouble identifying anything from the bark, because bark changes with the age of the tree.
