Persimmons, the Latin word for it means “food of the gods.” From eHow – Persimmon is an attractive tree with nutritional, sweet, autumn-ripening fruit that has been an old-fashioned favorite for homeowners in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 5 through 11, depending on the variety. Persimmon trees fall into two distinct categories: non-astringent, which can be eaten when the fruit is hard or soft, and astringent, which must have the fruit pulp very soft before consumption.
