I guess I need to clarify the meaning of the persimmon seed winter forecast. Cut the seeds open and see what shape is in them. Spoon means snow,fork means mild winter and knife means cold. I don't know how true it is but make for a lot of conversation and a good laugh. Wooly worms also tell of winter by their color. Black is cold brown is mild white is snow. All of these predictions come from the old timers when I was a kid. Which was a long time ago. ha! ha! Have a good day everyone. Gary

Last seasons wooly worms were mostly black, got hard freezes, loads of snow and ice, so far all I have seen have been solid golden brown.

The wooly worms here have small black on each end with wide band of brown. Tracy
No greater gift than healthy grandkids!

I must have lead a sheltered life, never seen a persimmon. Aronia bushes here had quite a few Berry's on them. Dam deer must love them, the dam things rode the fence down and ate their share. Just like a filthy goat does.

 I kinda remember in grade school,,long bout the 3rd grade readin bout them persimmons,,,and,,,,and,,that them coons really liked them and most people was always having to shoo them coons away from the fruit else they'd eat em all up,,,,but you sure didn't want to pick em too early,,else you puckered up big time,,,,,LOL
 We don't have any in this country or ever even seen what they look like,,,,

  I don't think they grow to far north and must not like the heat of the southern states either
