Persimmon
By Ann MacDonald
Persimmon (Diospyros) - Trees from China and Japan which, in our warm counties, appear to be hardy, but do not often produce fruits except in warm soils in the best conditions.
PERSIMMON--WINTER PREDICTION
According to folklore (which means it hasn't been scientific proven, or disproved), the severity of approaching winter can be cutting open a persimmon seed and looking at the shape of the kernel inside.
Persimmons, Diospyros virginiana, are found throughout the southeast to as far north as central Illinois and as far west as central Oklahoma.
Soil: Persimmons can withstand a wide rage of conditions as long as the soil is not overly salty, but does best in deep, well drained loam. A pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 is preferred.

The persimmon is one of the most widely grown "exotic" fruits. But why exotic? Perhaps it's the Latin name, Diospyros, which literally translates as "food of the gods.
Persimmon - Natural germination of common persimmon usually occurs in April or May, but 2- to 3-year delays have been observed. The main cause of the delay is a seed covering that causes a major decrease in water absorption.

Native persimmons are common in most of Texas, but gardeners usually prefer to grow varieties of the large-fruited, attractive Japanese persimmons.
The persimmon is a multitrunked or single-stemmed deciduous tree to 25 ft. high and at least as wide. It is a handsome ornamental with drooping leaves and branches that give it a languid, rather tropical appearance.
