There are blue persimmons. Perhaps you have those. Scroll down about half
way on the page at this link:
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.
