can persimons taste good

FlyingFoxFruits:
I love the astringent ones!

Pop the top, and squeeze out.  They taste like sugar jelly.

I like to spread them on bread to, but I don't really like non astringent as much.

I guess good things come to those who wait.

I hear saijo is one of the best.

The non astringent ones, like Fuyu, are good for the lazy folks that don't like to wait for proper ripening. But they only get an 8 on my fruit richter scale.

Non astringent ones for me are optimal at the stage where it gives slightly to the touch but not to much. When you eat it out of hand it should still keep its shape without collapsing, but be soft enough where its sweet, juicy, and gives in easily to the bite.

Fuyu is just an ok non astringent variety, the best tasting ones to me are the cinnamon colored flesh ones (they have more complexity with some spiciness in some of the varieties).

Persimmons are definitely a fruit i'd walk a mile for, just like mango, lychee, and durian!

Agree with this statement, I am looking to add 2-3 new trees in the future. So far I only have Hana Fuyu.
