“Persimmons are not born soft,”
“But they are valued for their softness.”
“Their ripeness.”

Well you know if I’m out in the woods and I’m seeing persimmon trees,
burgeoning with ripening fruit

I’ve never tasted a persimmon. What do they taste like – peaches, pears, nectarines. I’ve never seen any in our stores here either.
I have no idea— I’ve never eaten one— but I’ve been tempted to make persimmon bread 🥳
I’ve eaten plenty…and I’ll tell you they are great. They need to be very soft and plump – they’re sweet and fiber-filled. You have to eat around the large seeds in them, but worth the effort!
🤣 I knew I could count on you 😂
Wait until after a frost…then they are good.
I’ve heard that

Do you like the taste of persimmon?
I must confess I have never tried one.
I can remember them as a kid…there was a persimmon tree by our stop…we’d always step on the fallen fruits, getting them all over our shoes.
The older boys, who were mean, would pick up a persimmon and when we got on the bus and were to give our driver who was an older man our bus money, they smash a persimmon in his hand.
So whereas I love seeing then on the trees out in the woods, they do bring in some odd memories..
Wow that is such a memory; sad ones though!
It seems that mean people have a way of sticking in one’s craw 😤
True.
