Here in northeast missouri the persimmon trees on my property do not have any persimmons on them. I am disapointed because this is how I judge our oncoming winter. Have a good night, Gary

We have some persimmons in SWMO that are already ripe, which is shocking to me. I haven't personally cut any seeds but those I've heard of down here are seeing a lot of spoons

Shameless. That means you can point your machine further south in Missouri this year and skip northeast missouri. Spoons mean snow. LOL. Have a good day.Gary

Have a relative abundance of Persimmon on the farm
Have two in wye shot of the house in cemetery and a half dozen along the drive Several dozen scattered thru the drainage bottom by the barn One point I was puzzled by finding the fruit along the driveway and no tree noted until finally figured out the tree is 12-15” across and close to 60’ tall!! Fruit is 30’ up in the canopy!! |

We used to have a couple in the front yard when I was a kid... they were as much seeds as fruit, but delicious when ripe... ... ... if you bit into one that was not completly ripe, it would pukker you up enough to whistle forever... peace,

We have 2 groves of trees about 30 foot apart with about 15 to 20 trees in each group. All the trees in one grove have fruit on the trees and not one tree in the other grove has ever had fruit on them. Den

We have several down on the bottom of our property. They haven’t produced well for a few years. Don’t know what makes them produce or not but it sure varies.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaOne type of automatic self-pollination occurs in the orchid Ophrys apifera. One of the two pollinia bends itself towards the stigma. Self-pollination is when pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in gymnosperms). There are two types of self-pollination: in autogamy, pollen is transferred to the stigma of the same flower; in geitonogamy, pollen is transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on the same flowering plant, or from microsporangium to ovule within a single (monoecious) gymnosperm. Some plants have mechanisms that ensure autogamy, such as flowers that do not open (cleistogamy), or stamens that move to come into contact with the stigma. The term selfing that is often used as a synonym, is not limited to self-pollination, but also applies to other types of self-fertilization. |

I use it when green and like it a lot. A little soft and burns like soft wood when dry. |
