Asian and American persimmons.  Some types of Americans don't really ripen 
until 
Xmas here in central Virginia.  (Ripening at first frost is a myth -- 
ripening times 
vary with each variety).

Fuzzy kiwifruit, formerly "Chinese gooseberry" (Actinidia deliciosa, formerly 
Actinidea chinensis).  An early ripening type barely ripens by November here 
in 
central Virginia before getting frozen.  The standard variety Hayward might 
be just 
right for central North Carolina.  A frost-protected site would help to get 
the 
young vines started.

>Does anyone have any recommendations for late season fruits for the SE 
(specifically zone 7-8)?  The italian honey figs are still going strong, but 
the rest of 
our fruit/berries have pretty much finished by now - even the jujubes are 
nearing 
their end.  I'd like to have something that ripened through Oct, if possible.

saw fruiting in Asheboro, NC this past weekend, it looks like they will ripen 
from 
Sept15-Oct1st.
