A very flavorful fruit, and sweet but not too sweet.
Perfect to go with breakfast oatmeal.

Persimmons on the tree, 2025-09-28 –jsq for OPF
These are Fuyu persimmons, a variety of the Japanese persimmon,
Diospyros kaki.
Many moons that tree has been there since Gretchen planted it.
This year it’s really bearing fruit.

This other tree was supposed to be something else,
