Persimmon Diospyros Virginiana
Additional Details:
| An old standby in our nature lore heritage, the persimmon is tasty, in a different way. Those on some trees are sweeter and ripen earlier or later than others. Possums and other wildlife like them too. They are one of the first trees to sprout up in abandoned fields or disturbed areas, and in fence rows of the deciduous forest range. The plant is in the ebony family, the wood is hard. strong, and close grained. It has specialized uses such as in the heads of golf clubs. |
