What fruit do you like best? 

I like sweet persimmons, so I planted a sweet persimmon tree in my yard eight years ago. Every year, when sweet persimmons ripen, I get upset because squirrels keep eating them. 

Last year, I harvested about 10. This year, I think there are about 300 blooms on this small tree.

I'm already looking forward to fall.

  • Fuyu Persimmons are one of my favorite fruits. I like them raw, but absolutely love them dried. I usually buy about 40 lbs. every fall and dehydrate them. Better than candy!

    Persimmons are delicious, especially the fuyu variety. Goodluck battling the squirrels!
  • I'd love to grow my own vegetables, but always gets stolen by the wildlife 😭

    I've never had a sweet persimmon. Where do you live? I wonder where that fruit grows native. I love in Ohio; I get apple, mulberry, and pear trees to name a few.
