I've just been lucky enough to buy them when they are nearly ripened to the peak of perfection.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what I would do if that wasn't the case.

After our first disaster, we learned to be patient and wait, but it is hard! :) I have some in a bag with bananas right now, but it doesn't seem to be speeding them up much.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your blog!<BR/>ConnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254641013573970732.post-14265228812252854242007-12-09T17:26:00.000-08:002007-12-09T17:26:00.000-08:00There's a tall persimmon (I'm talking 30+ feet hig...There's a tall persimmon (I'm talking 30+ feet high) just next door. I always forget about it because if they fall on the ground my pets eat them. If they stay on the tree I couldn't reach them without a bucket truck. I'm checking tomorrow to see if any are leftover. Probably not after that wind last week, but tomorrow, I'm still going to check.RawBinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201208673562866290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254641013573970732.post-3608576691638183312007-12-09T17:18:00.000-08:002007-12-09T17:18:00.000-08:00Alissa, I'm glad that you finally got to try one; ...Alissa, I'm glad that you finally got to try one; better late than never.<BR/><BR/>Rawbin, how come you didn't share?

I ate a few of them while on horseback. I had nothing to collect them with. (They're very messy when ripe and they'll stain) I remember reading that they're sweetest immediately following a frost.RawBinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201208673562866290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254641013573970732.post-44281722749290055412007-12-09T14:54:00.000-08:002007-12-09T14:54:00.000-08:00i just tried my first persimmon a few weeks ago. ...i just tried my first persimmon a few weeks ago. i can't believe i got this far in life without even know what one was. i LOVE them!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823262343313443649noreply@blogger.com
