Has your husband tried them before? There was some kind called "caqui" where I lived in southern Spain that was really juicy. Too juicy... Lol. There was a hint of melon-like taste I didn't care for.

Those don't look quite as wet.

Hope the trip was fun!

It was fun! Yes he has eaten a lot of persimmons. They grow wild in Arkansas where his Grandma lived when he was a little boy. We found some ripe ones in Arkansas today. They tasted good. They make wine out of them also!

Cool . Our persimmons grow only in the south. They bring us to sell. I heard a lot of iodine in it and it is very useful.

Something we don't see up here :-)

The persimmon fruit looks good, Violet. I don’t think I have ever eaten any.

Me neither until my husband found another tree in Arkansas the next day!

Howdy violetmed! I don't know anything about those and I've never had their fruit! But those are good pictures and if I see some persimmon fruit I'll buy it!

Well my hubby said that persimmon trees grew wild on his grandmothers's land in Arkansas. That's were he found out about them and ate them!

Very interesting, have you had them? Now I'd like to try them!
