Dear Mark,
        I saw a program on PBS about the old traditions being lost in a 
village
and they showed poles, maybe an inch or so in diameter, placed
horizontally in the gables outside the house with the persimmons hanging
from the poles.  Each gable had 5 or 6 poles at least 15' or 20' long.  I
think they placed them there after the first freeze, but I can't swear to
that part of the program.  Love, Peace and Perception
