Hi Mr. Lehman,
The tree in the grove (of mixed varieties) that is right next to your shed
that drops copious amounts of the very large persimmons, has a lot of
precipitated tannins is the one I tried; I think it has a tag on it; this one
is not the red, also large J-59.I find that, and I'm no longer sure, when it
changes from yellow to brown-yellow, and caramelizes (which many fruits drop
or rot before that time), the fiber in Yates/Juhl start to become like a
grainy (pasty) persimmon sauce. Not just pasty, but filled with dissolving
crystals of sugar or, likely, fiber.
I'll try the fruit on Ted Daniecki's tree when I visit him again next year to
confirm this observation.
Steve

Steve,

I don't understand this "grainy texture" description. Are you sure you have
a Juhl/Yates? I'd never describe either my Juhl or Yates trees as grainy. I
have Yates from Ed Yates and Juhl form Claypool who got it from the nursery
in Linton, IN, the same nursery where Ed told me he gotten several Juhl
trees. Juhl/Yates is early, soft, large, sweet and full of black material.
Never what I'd describe as grainy.

Jerry
