Comments on: Prolific Persimmon Trees http://www.simplybelle.net/prolific-persimmon-tree/ Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:46:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Toxcrusadr http://www.simplybelle.net/prolific-persimmon-tree/comment-page-1/#comment-3073 Toxcrusadr Thu, 11 Dec 2008 04:04:18 +0000 http://www.simplybelle.net/prolific-persimmon-tree/#comment-3073 Wild persimmons grow here in the Midwest (Missouri), they get quite tall and the wood is very hard. The persimmons are small, very soft when ripe, and go from very astringent to very sweet and honeylike. I make dry Persimmon Mead out of them and folks seem to like it. They ripen when it frosts. Perhaps the ones you got were the Asian type that is not cold hardy? It gets down to 0 or below here in winter. BTW my dad was a fruit planter too...I have 3 peaches and 2 apples, guess the gene is inherited... Wild persimmons grow here in the Midwest (Missouri), they get quite tall and the wood is very hard.

I pig out on this when it is season... so good!!! I guess when you are an avid of anything, you are a determined person. I am the same way... when I set my mind to plant something, I always find a way...and find that plant/flower/tree.

I grew up in Baguio, and there are some who grow them trees up there in our cool weather. You're luck to have a green-thumb hubby. :) He reminds me of my lolo, who used to love planting all kinds of trees too. :) I love persimmons, though it’s been a while since i last bit into a juicy one.

I'm not familiar with persimmons but they look interesting and worth a try. I admire your husband's passion for planting fruit trees. Watching the trees grow and bear fruits is a great reward by itself. I’ve never had figs before except for some cookie fillings but I haven’t tasted the actual fruit before.

I thought I was eating a super-ripe tomatoes (ok, tomatos). Super ripe is much better anyway. Although a bit squishy when swallowed but the taste is very sweeet. Remember my visitor? She bought it sa palengke - kung di dahil sa kanya di ko natikman to. Belle, the first time I tasted this fruit, I was in awe in disbelief. I thought I was eating a super-ripe tomatoes (ok, tomatos).

KK, i like it better when it is fully ripened but my friend likes it crunchy. dangkin, it doesn't taste like figs. persimmon tastes good even if it is not all the way ripe while the fig doesn't Verns, i haven’t tried mangosteen yet. is that a local fruit?
