***Persimmon Identification Correction*** I referred to one of the Persimmon varieties as being an American Persimmon. It's, in fact, a Eureka Persimmon, a flat-bottom, astringent, heavy-bearing variety. As of 2020, we do own a Native/American/Common Persimmon, but it's not featured in this video. Sorry about the mixup.
I was feeling a little deflated when even your american persimmons were great big LOL We grow Prok, and it is much sweeter than other american types I have tasted, but also much smaller than what you showed, I thought....why it was so big Texas? LOL
Our native persimmons here in northwestern Arkansas are very small and astringent. The best ones are found on the ground. Ours are about the size of a cherry tomato, and are mostly seeds. However, the small amount of pulp in them is very good and sweet.
Your video is very informative and I enjoyed learning more about persimmons. We tried persimmon for the first time this year. It was a Fuyu. I didn't find seeds inside. I bought it at the Asian Market and it was definitely over priced. Almost $3 each and wanted to charge me higher prices for bigger ones. Same with the Asian pear. Saddened me because I thought she was a good person. Now I will look at the other Asian stores. We would love to grow persimmon tree(s). What is the best way to grow one?
I love persimmons no matter where the are from…my eyes light up when I see them.. Sweet and juicy the taste is like no other, introduced a friend to one few weeks ago She bought Four the following day 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
I used to live in Taiwan and had my first ever persimmon there! It was definitely the fuyu variety, and it became my favorite fruit instantly. Thanks for making such a detailed video on persimmons, I had no idea there were any varieties, let alone how different some of them seem!
I lived in Japan for many years and love persimmons. The Japanese do a much better job of celebrating and enjoying fruits as they come into season. Just discovered your channel, love your fruit enthusiasm!
I planted 2, japanese (thats all i got) a while back. Now i have over 10 trees, and gallons of little seedy fruits that taste amazing. Made my first ever persimmon vinegar! Yeehaw !
We Live in South Korea and persimmons are my wife's FAVORITE fruit and she eats a LOT of them. Thank you for this video as I learned a lot about the fruit here. We tried to grow one in central Wisconsin but it died the second winter. Sad. Also, I made a persimmon cake which is a heavy cake and very sweet!
Live in Calif and I love them especially when they get really dark and soft and mushy and almost liquid and you can suck them out of the skin or use a spoon I never get enough of them
This vlog post has answered many questions about the persimmon. Over the last few years,I have become an obsessed fan of this fruit. Also, believe it or not, most persimmon prices here in NYC start at $3.99 each and go up.
saw some in the store the other day and asked my mom about them but it had been so long she couldn't recall the flavor or prep needs. So thank you for this video i will definitely have to try one, love trying new flavors:)
I recently tried persimmons (Fuyu variety) after I was given them at a food pantry and they've been a great blessing for me. I'd never had them before and have been pleased to discover that they are perfectly balancing for my physiological nature. Struggling to find many 'heavy' sweet fruits that I enjoy and can eat through winter, this wonderful fruit will be a new staple in my diet, especially through the cold weather months.
I have just watched a few videos on persimmons and I'm so glad I let the auto-play do it's thing because I heard you speaking and you gave the BEST descriptions of any one else I heard. I love all the details you give and the corrections in the comments. New sub and thank you so much!!
I love this video and persimmons. I particularly LOVE the astringent ones. Yes they take longer to ripen but benefit is super sweet, soft, and delicious fruit.
I live on Ohio and I have one growing in my field randomly. So I've become very curious of them since I've never seen them b4. So glad to learn more about them. Great video
Absolutely my favorite fruit. The Hachiya is very good. I tried eating the wild Maryland persimmons, but never could because of the tannin content.The fragrant wild persimmons hanging by the hundreds from the boughs in the autumn, is something I'll never forget.
My local garden center will be planting a Fuji Persimmon tree in my yard this week. Thank you for your beautiful video. It makes me happy to know that I am joining the persimmon tree family. I am really looking forward to eating my first persimmon from my tree in the near future.
This has literally been the most informative video-or really anything, including articles-on persimmons that I've been able to find. By (very) far. Thank you so, so much! One of my family's go-to treats during Thanksgiving & Christmas is persimmon bread-and the first time I tried to make it on my own, I made the mistake of using Hachiya rather than Fuyu because I had no idea there were so many varieties. MASSIVE difference. Might as well have used sand instead of flour to make the bread when I used Hachiya. This year, though, all I can find is "Sharon fruit", which is evidently a variety from Israel that has diminished tannins? I haven't tried them yet, but fingers crossed. Thanks again! Also.........I miss HEB!
Thank you so much! I've made persimmon jam before using the Eureka persimmons (the ones I incorrectly called American persimmons in the video). I didn't realize that some were not completely ripe, and the jam was bitter with tannins. That was a tough learning experience. Make sure astringent persimmons are fully ripe (and/or take out the middle core) 😅
I just tried one for the first time! It was a fuyu and had a texture like an apple, but much sweeter than any apple I've ever had. Very much like honey. I really enjoyed ^^ So I had to find a video to learn more about them. Thank you for educating us! Great video :) I hope to try more varieties of this fruit.
We have persimmons everywhere down here in Mississippi. I have access to the hachiya and American persimmons. My sister has a huge american persimmon tree. We went to a farm and picked some fuyu persimmons this fall. The feeling the unripe fruit gives your mouth the old timers around here call it "drawing your mouth out!". Ive never had a variety that wasnt astringent i guess. Great informational video, thanks.
I was lucky to try my first one just now and it was a fuyu. It wasn't chalky and it was very sweet! I highly recommend. It sounds like a lot of the other varieties I wouldn't enjoy quite so much if they are astringent, blegh.
My neighbor has a hachia and I just tried eating one of the fruits. It was soft to the touch and the skin wrinkled under pressure, but the fruit was still very astringent and chalky. I collected the seeds plant. I didn't care for the fruit but the tree looks beautiful with not leafs only orange fruits on it. Thank you for the video.
I have a fuyu persimmon tree. But after watching your video I'm not so sure. The owners of my property were horticulturist and there a number of hybrid plants in the yard. There are chocolate shades in some of the persimmons, some are astringent, but not this year. Lots of large seeds. They are between tear drop and squat in shape. I have whole dried, made curry soups, salsa, dehydrated, salads, smoothies or eat them like apples. I sell them to local farmers market farmers and they resell them. Your video is fantastic! I say I have suffered this tree because I couldn't pawn them off to my neighbors and didn't know how else to do with them other than let then fall to the ground to feed to javalina, deer, birds, etc. Thank you so much for the video!
I enjoyed your presentation, I was born & raised in the Temple area & have always seen the Texas Persimmon in much of this area & have two trees that native on my acreage & also have seen them in Miller Springs nature walk area below the Belton Dam.
Absolutely fabulous video on everything Persimmons. I had a Fuyu tree for 30 years. We hired an arborist who sprayed several of our trees and it killed our Fuyu tree. We tried everything to prevent its demise but it just kept looking like a slow burn tree. 😭😭I use Nextdoor to buy from neighbors who sell at 2-3 for 1$. I just bought 40 to share but they are a bit hard. Still ok to eat but need a bit more ripening. Thanks again for sharing.
Great video! I live in Alabama, and have a neighbor who unexpectedly gave me a large bag of persimmons. I’ve never grown or seen persimmon trees, and had no idea what variety the neighbor gave me. I think these were blown off the tree by a storm, so they were green when she gave them to me. I didn’t know what to do with them, so put them in my fridge. They ripened enough to eat, although they didn’t get past a light yellow-orange color. They were completely gel-like inside. VERY sweet, just like honey, and chocolate brown or cinnamon-flecked flesh.
This is such a well rounded amount of information in a surprisingly short video. Many other presenters would have drawn this out for an hour. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. As a child we had a persimmon tree that was my favorite...it had a custard type of flesh when ripe. Seems like it had a pointed bottom. I would like to find that variety which is why I clicked on this video. Thanks again and Jesus bless from a fellow Texan.
I love, love persimmons. Once I discovered them I began to think how underrated they are. Persimmons are one of my favorite fruit. I find them very expensive in my area when they’re in season. I bought 4 persimmons at Publix for $5.00. I use to buy persimmons in New York 33 cents for one, but that was years ago. I’d love to plant a tree in my back yard.
I love persimmons too, but they can be expensive, especially at non-Asian market stores. The trees are super easy to grow! Most varieties are self-fertile, cold hearty, require very little pruning, and be prolific fruit producers! We have four types so far: American (you'll need male and female trees), Eureka, Hachiya, and Fuyu!
There are small persimmons in the temperate heartland of the US that grow on bushes. They taste like dates, and are sometimes used to make a pudding that is eaten warm with whipped cream.
Great info, thank you. I've been in Ljubljana Slovenia in October and they were sellng hacija in the market. The fruits were so ripe the skin was almost translucent and thin. Loved them.
Very informative video. We live in Maryland and planted a Fuju Persimmon tree about 7 years ago (2013) . It’s done really well year after year. Last year - Maryland had a lot of rain & most of our fruit dropped. This year - 2020 - we have had a bumper crop of grapefruit-size fruit. We just picked about 20 perfect Fuyus - so tasty. I keep the tree pruned to about 8 ft tall, so fruit is easy to pick. We’re in Zone 7.
You did a marvelous job of producing and narrating this video. You have a sweet voice and excellent diction. Note: I have tried the Sapote, and although it looks like chocolate pudding, it tastes nothing like that, and not nearly as good as a persimmon.
Thank you so much for this video, I was just given some persimmons didn’t know what to do with him or know how to tell when it was ripe. Thank you does help me not waste any fruit by cutting it open too soon
I just bought some for the first time ever wanted to try something different your information was easy to understand very informative and helped me understand each type thankyou
We have an American Persimmon tree that fruited for the first time last year (2020). Those are by far my favorite persimmons! I describe the taste as punch-your-mouth sweet! Lol Every time I ate one (the tree didn’t produce many persimmons), I was taken aback by how sugary sweet they were! I’d love to have more trees. I believe you’ll have to have a ‘male’ tree around for pollination; we have a male persimmon tree that produces flowers in the spring. This year (2021), I think we’ll have more American Persimmons on our tree! 😁
Great video! Def explains why my mouth feels fuzzy now 😆 I added the Hachiya to a fruit salad I made for myself and just assumed they were going to be similar to Fuyu in that you can eat the flesh. Well🤓 Thank you for clearing that up!!
11/17/2024 @ 11:47 - Thank you for your very well informed video. Going to try the ripening method in the morning. I bought 2 from a week now and they have not ripen.
Excellent video... I just planted 3 Jiro Persimmon trees & 2 Kieffer pears in a small grove in Southern Ohio....I'm putting a 2 person tree house/deer stand just uphill from the 5 fruit trees......there's a lot of deer in my area...
I tasted this fruit for the 1st time yesterday oh wow nice&sweet😋My niece thought it was tomatoes but also said she never saw an orange tomato in color.
I’m in NC and some of the trees here get ripe early but most are ripe after cold weather. Some say the fruit is not good until after the 1st frost..... The tree in my yard ripens early and makes great persimmon pudding👍👍
I found a study some time back, and it basically boils down to, they need so many hours of so much cold to taste good. On a hot year, they might be looking ripe but still not had enough chill time to be at their best.On a cold year, they might taste better earlier in the year.Probably, on average, by the time we get to having our first frost, the chill hours have been met, so it looks like it's the frost. We have "Prok" variety american type. The best that I have tasted by far. This fall has been hot and dry, and the fruit was not as good as on an average year. Mid Missouri 6a
I grew up in Asheville and can say for sure you had better wait for first frost up in the mountains. Frost up there comes well before ripening season. I live in Ga now and have a tree luckily in my back yard. We don't get first frost down here until November usually but the persimmons start ripening in October and lasts for 2 to 3 weeks. I wait for them to hit the ground. Usually compete some with the deer for them but we both manage to get all we want I think. 30 foot tree and it's full most years.
Chocolate parsimon has an amazing taste. I love to eat it although I not a foody person at all. But chocolate persimmon which is hard and it has seeds inside it and has many brown spots inside is amazing.
I have planted the variety "Nikita's Gift" which is a hybrid between an american and asian persimmon. It is of the astringent type. I can't wait for it to mature.
Grew up collecting and eating America persimmon. My mom followed a family recipe dating back to colonial days for persimmon pudding it was more like a wet cake. It was delicious. I've tried and all most perfected making it. It was a bit challenging since it was written in measurements i had not used. Example a mound , a lump, a heapbetter. And it said to bake in oven. But on what temperature. Took a few tries.
In 2021, I planted an Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro persimmon tree, and I hope it will bear fruit by two more seasons. It’s a non-astringent variety, and hardy in my zone (7). It’s also a compact variety, and with proper pruning, I should be able to keep it to 8’ high.
We have american persimmons of the astringent variety. They are so delicious. We are in Northern California. I think they may be the Eureka ones now that I have seen your comment. They are big, heavy, and flattish bottomed. Thank you for your explanation of all the types. I hadn't seen that before, I knew ours were not shaped like hachiya but that they were definitely the astringent type. We inherited the tree when we moved. We had 19 fruits last year and 600 this year. So needing recipes and what to do with abundance.
This is the best video on persimmons. I have planted a number of American persimmons (Maryland) but I'd like to try some of the others you discussed. Thank you

Persimmons are grown in Pakistan too, they r large and very sweet, juicy and very delicious.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
Well that was packed full of information! I have never had a persimmon yet, but feel a certain confidence after the education you've given me. Thanks!

I have been eating them for years.Cannot wait each year’s end to have my fill love it.
I load up on persimmons each year! They’re so good! 😊
Thanks dear, this is the most exhaustive and concise video on any fruit I've ever seen, I love persimmons
My local garden center will be planting a Fuji Persimmon tree in my yard this week. Thank you for your beautiful video. It makes me happy to know that I am joining the persimmon tree family. I am really looking forward to eating my first persimmon from my tree in the near future.
Awesome! Fuyus are the best first-time persimmon variety, and the trees are easy to grow once they’re established.
This has literally been the most informative video-or really anything, including articles-on persimmons that I've been able to find. By (very) far. Thank you so, so much! One of my family's go-to treats during Thanksgiving & Christmas is persimmon bread-and the first time I tried to make it on my own, I made the mistake of using Hachiya rather than Fuyu because I had no idea there were so many varieties.

I didn't realize that some were not completely ripe, and the jam was bitter with tannins. That was a tough learning experience. Make sure astringent persimmons are fully ripe (and/or take out the middle core) 😅
Enjoyed your video! Used to pick persimmons from neighborhood trees in North Carolina back in the 70s. We made pies. Such good memories!
I just tried one for the first time! It was a fuyu and had a texture like an apple, but much sweeter than any apple I've ever had. Very much like honey. I really enjoyed ^^ So I had to find a video to learn more about them. Thank you for educating us! Great video :) I hope to try more varieties of this fruit.
Thank-you for the video..I found a tree on my bus route..my mom and I love them & I have considered getting a tree to plant
Just do it
Love persimmons!!! Thank you so much for explaining the great benefits of this heavenly fruit.
Love to see soon a new video of what other ways to mix persimmons with other fruits or veggies?
We have persimmons everywhere down here in Mississippi. I have access to the hachiya and American persimmons. My sister has a huge american persimmon tree. We went to a farm and picked some fuyu persimmons this fall. The feeling the unripe fruit gives your mouth the old timers around here call it "drawing your mouth out!". Ive never had a variety that wasnt astringent i guess. Great informational video, thanks.
I was lucky to try my first one just now and it was a fuyu. It wasn't chalky and it was very sweet! I highly recommend. It sounds like a lot of the other varieties I wouldn't enjoy quite so much if they are astringent, blegh.
Great job, with all the information I was looking for!
My neighbor has a hachia and I just tried eating one of the fruits. It was soft to the touch and the skin wrinkled under pressure, but the fruit was still very astringent and chalky. I collected the seeds plant. I didn't care for the fruit but the tree looks beautiful with not leafs only orange fruits on it. Thank you for the video.
One of the best fruit I have eaten. even the astringent ones are lovely. Thanks for this

Love that fruit so much,more than two years i misses it thank you so much for that video.
I enjoyed your presentation, I was born & raised in the Temple area & have always seen the Texas Persimmon in much of this area & have two trees that native on my acreage & also have seen them in Miller Springs nature walk area below the Belton Dam.
Awesome video. You explained all the different varieties with clarity.
Thank you so much!

The pointed bottom kind is called Hachiya, it's astringent.
I have a Fulu tree 5yrs old it bare the 2nd yrs and did not the 3nd but it beautiful
I love all kinds of persimmon, I love it hard, because I love the crunchy…

You're very welcome! I hope you find a new favorite persimmon variety!
So thorough thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, I was just given some persimmons didn’t know what to do with him or know how to tell when it was ripe. Thank you does help me not waste any fruit by cutting it open too soon
Thank you so much! It’s important to know what type you have, for sure. 😊
I just bought some for the first time ever wanted to try something different your information was easy to understand very informative and helped me understand each type thankyou
Thank you; I learned so much. Love your video❤
Just planted 25 bare root stock of the American Persimmon this spring. (2021) Cant wait to see them grow!

Excellent information. Thank you!
Love persimmons my collection fruits in new year❤🎉
You sound just as sweet as the persimmons your video is about! Very good video! Excellent information, I learned so much about this fruit. Thank you!!
This is super helpful and informative. Thank you!
Great video! Def explains why my mouth feels fuzzy now 😆 I added the Hachiya to a fruit salad I made for myself and just assumed they were going to be similar to Fuyu in that you can eat the flesh. Well🤓 Thank you for clearing that up!!
we had an free from the chocolate variant when I was an child. it was very good
I love all of them and also for the way how to reopen them sometimes i can't wait for them to ripe thanks a lot for this video 😅 God bless 🙏💕❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤
What an interesting and useful video! thank you!
11/17/2024 @ 11:47 - Thank you for your very well informed video. Going to try the ripening method in the morning. I bought 2 from a week now and they have not ripen.
Great presentation . Persimmons are a little known fruit and this was a welcome video. 😄
I have planted a persimmon tree in Germany since 2011, the variety is Tipo and I harvest my own fruit almost every November.
I’m new to this fruit but like it good to finally learn more about it thank you for sharing
Just are my first persimmon while watching this. Simple the best, I've been missing out 🥰
Thx you!! Finally answered my question. Love persimmons and now need an orchard
Best video explaining persimmon types and difference between them. Would love to know where you can get texas persimmon tree.
Good job explaining about Persimmons!
Thank you so much for this info! I'm given persimmons each year and can never remember how to say the names...
Excellent video...
I just planted 3 Jiro Persimmon trees & 2 Kieffer pears in a small grove in Southern Ohio....I'm putting a 2 person tree house/deer stand just uphill from the 5 fruit trees......there's a lot of deer in my area...
Wow! Such a helpful video. Thx!
I just found your channel and think you're great! Thanks for the helpful fun info and sharing your experience!
Çok teşekkür ediyorum. Bilgilendirme ve emeğiniz için. Bol ürün almanız dileğiyle.
Thank you very much, very informative.
Thank you for making video on my favourite fruit I absolutely love it
I tasted this fruit for the 1st time yesterday oh wow nice&sweet😋My niece thought it was tomatoes but also said she never saw an orange tomato in color.
Great video! My wife slices fuyu persimmons and bakes them with a little olive oil and cinnamon, makes for a healthy and delicious treat
I’m in NC and some of the trees here get ripe early but most are ripe after cold weather. Some say the fruit is not good until after the 1st frost..... The tree in my yard ripens early and makes great persimmon pudding👍👍
I found a study some time back, and it basically boils down to, they need so many hours of so much cold to taste good. On a hot year, they might be looking ripe but still not had enough chill time to be at their best.On a cold year, they might taste better earlier in the year.Probably, on average, by the time we get to having our first frost, the chill hours have been met, so it looks like it's the frost.
We have "Prok" variety american type. The best that I have tasted by far. This fall has been hot and dry, and the fruit was not as good as on an average year. Mid Missouri 6a
I grew up in Asheville and can say for sure you had better wait for first frost up in the mountains. Frost up there comes well before ripening season. I live in Ga now and have a tree luckily in my back yard. We don't get first frost down here until November usually but the persimmons start ripening in October and lasts for 2 to 3 weeks. I wait for them to hit the ground. Usually compete some with the deer for them but we both manage to get all we want I think. 30 foot tree and it's full most years.
Chocolate parsimon has an amazing taste.
I love to eat it although I not a foody person at all. But chocolate persimmon which is hard and it has seeds inside it and has many brown spots inside is amazing.
They need to fully RIPEN. TAKES A LONG TIME
Excelente me encanta me fascina esa fruta!
Wow very well done video. Thank you!
Super informational and we'll researched good job!
I didn't know you could eat persimmons. You did a good job on this video. Thank you for the information.
I have planted the variety "Nikita's Gift" which is a hybrid between an american and asian persimmon. It is of the astringent type. I can't wait for it to mature.
Awesome video. Thanks for posting. Monica, NYC
Grew up collecting and eating America persimmon. My mom followed a family recipe dating back to colonial days for persimmon pudding it was more like a wet cake. It was delicious. I've tried and all most perfected making it. It was a bit challenging since it was written in measurements i had not used. Example a mound , a lump, a heapbetter. And it said to bake in oven. But on what temperature. Took a few tries.
Sounds good I’d love to try it,have you tried starting high temp and lowering it as it gets closer to being done. Like a pie kind of.
Very informative, thank you
In 2021, I planted an Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro persimmon tree, and I hope it will bear fruit by two more seasons. It’s a non-astringent variety, and hardy in my zone (7). It’s also a compact variety, and with proper pruning, I should be able to keep it to 8’ high.
It’s better than Fuyu, a tad sweeter and larger.
I absolutely loved your video! I just was gifted a bag of Fuyu persimmons today. I know what to do with them now! Happy Holidays to you!!
thanks for the video, nice to see people caring for their fruit.
Best explanation ever of my favorite fruit.
Ty perfect voice lv the information. 😊❤
Thanks! I was gifted some persimmons from a friend's tree and wasn't sure what type or what to do with them.
We have american persimmons of the astringent variety. They are so delicious. We are in Northern California. I think they may be the Eureka ones now that I have seen your comment. They are big, heavy, and flattish bottomed. Thank you for your explanation of all the types. I hadn't seen that before, I knew ours were not shaped like hachiya but that they were definitely the astringent type. We inherited the tree when we moved. We had 19 fruits last year and 600 this year. So needing recipes and what to do with abundance.
This is the best video on persimmons. I have planted a number of American persimmons (Maryland) but I'd like to try some of the others you discussed. Thank you
I agree, great video!
