- How To Tell When A Persimmon Is Ripe
Once Autumn is approaching, there are certain fruits that start to ripen that we associate with fall. Apples and Pears are two of the ones of the most common. Here in the South, there are two more that we look for, Muscadine grapes and Persimmons. In this post, we are going to cover Persimmons but more specifically how to tell if a Persimmon is ripe.
What Is a Persimmon Tree?
There are many varieties of Persimmon trees but the one we are focusing on is the American Persimmon tree which is native to the Southern United States. This tree is also called a common persimmon and the scientific name is diospyros virginiana.
These trees are grown in other parts of the US and the world, but they are naturally native to the Southeast.
The American Persimmon tree can grow upwards of sixty feet tall. The wood itself is used in furniture and at one time was what golf driver heads were made from before they switched to metal heads.
The fruit itself has a sweet flesh when they are at its peak ripeness. The taste can remind you of cantaloupe with hints of honey flavor.
Join us as we talk about how to tell if a persimmon is ripe.

Love them...got trees in my backyard
Yea they are so yummy!
Great video, very helpful
Thanks 🙏
I always liked finding a persimmon in the woods when hunting. It has a taste all it's own, I think. My mom likes those big Japanese persimmons, but I never developed a taste for those. Hope you and family have a great weekend, Ronnie.
Yeah it’s one of the best wildlife attractions. Deer come from mikes away to eat these golden globs of sweet honey delights! I just love the way they smell too! Thanks buddy.
Love persimmons!
They are so good and so underrated!
I had presimmons for the first time this summer they are delicious 😊
We they the Native American Persimmon or an Asian cultivar? Just curious. But yeah they are great!
@@SouthernFoodJunkie asian
@@janetparekh679 Ok. Those are great too. You don’t have to wait until they are fully ripe to enjoy as most (not all) Asian varieties are non-astringent! Thanks 🙏
Persimmon pudding is great !!!
I 100% agree!
👍👍👍
Thanks
I recently heard that the astringent is also what makes some wines being super dry. This year we’ve made some American persimmon butter and a cake. Looking forward to this series!
That makes sense! Never thought about that. How was the cake? Thanks 🙏
@@SouthernFoodJunkie was good. Tasted kinda like a spice cake. Had an older guy ask if we made persimmon wine. Hadn’t heard of that one before.
@@DeanFamilyAcres I got ya. Sounds good. I know a older guy that makes persimmon tea. Supposed to be good for arthritis and inflammation. Not sure but he swears by it lol 😂
