I think that if a nonastringent Kaki loses leaves to deer, that only verifies Lon's notion that the astringency in persimmon fruit is also in the leaves. This implies that one could screen persimmon seedlings for astringency by tasting leaves. Or you could bring in a goat... the trees it ate were the ones you wanted to keep. Donna
