We have several native persimmon trees on our and our neighbors properties.  The trees are big -- 50+ feet tall.  The first year we were here I spotted some fruit on a lower branch.  Wasn't quite sure what it was.  My husband was taken aback when I tasted it :)  Puckered me right up!

Once the fruit falls, it is ripe and very sweet and tasty.  If I can beat the deer and squirrels to it, it is quite a treat.  The fruit is small, the size of a large marble, and a kind of carmel orange color.  Trees tend to bear biennially.
