FUYU PERSIMMONS

Fuyu persimmons are non astringent, meaning that you can eat them when still firm. We are very proud of our Fuyu persimmons. We never pick them with green shoulders, but wait until they are fully colored and very sweet with a smooth, silky texture. Because we have good pollination (many bees in the orchard), our persimmons tend to have seeds. We grow many different varieties of persimmons and sometimes cross-pollination between the chocolate persimmons and the other varieties results in dark - goma - streaks in the fuyu flesh. These are not a defect, they add to the complexity of the fruit.
