We have a very tall persimmon tree that grows by our gate. Every fall it showers us with ripe persimmons. There would be no way to pick them as they are at least 30 ft off the ground. The tricky thing is knowing when you should try and eat one. Get it at the right stage of ripeness and it is the most delectable of fruit. Tastes like the finest orange marmalade! Try it just a little too early and it’s sort of like someone has poured a can of alum on your tongue. They must be super-ripe. Almost bordering on rotten. I’m not ready to test them just yet.
