Kenneth, I have been a persimmon lover since I first found them in the woods while exploring as a boy near my Atlanta area home... nearly 60 years ago ! Always brings a smile to my face whenever I come across a tree in the wild. Imagine my delight when I noticed a persimmon tree in my neighbors yard after buying our place in a rural area outside of Richmond VA. It is now (late Oct) loaded with beautiful orange fruit and I have helped myself to some of that delicious bounty...but ONLY after it has fallen to the ground. Cheers.
I brought home a seedling from a group of college students giving them away on Earth day over 25 years ago. I planted it next to a big Burr Oak in my suburban front yard. A couple years ago I brewed a delicious beer enhanced by several pounds of the fruit. At this moment, I've got a pudding in the oven from the first of this year's crop. I love that tree!
Persimmon pudding was one of my mothers and grandmothers favorite dessert recipes. I loved it. Many folks who aren't from the south never heard of it. Too bad, very delicious. Consistency like moist brownies but with a baked top, but not rubbery. I've even made it myself with good success. Thanks Ken, great old timey video!
+Survivalist2008 Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. It would be interesting to know the recipes that your mother and grandmother used. The recipes in this video were very, very simple ....with fewer ingredients than modern recipes.
Common persimmons are, hands down, my #1 favorite native North American fruit! They can be SO sweet! They are great for watching wildlife -- so many animals love ripe persimmons!
We had a persimmon tree in our yard when I was a kid and it was a stable at our house . My Grandmother use it make the best persimmon pudding and jellies and jam. She would can it and we would have it all year . And in the early fall we were back out there picking them off the ground. That's were a lot make the mistake you have wait until they fall to the ground that's !when they are ripe. Thanks for the memories Ken . Can't go wrong with persimmons. The animals did not get many of them . We were ready for them. LOL
This video is great! I just recently discovered a few common persimmon trees in my backyard(Alvin, Tx) and a month ago they weren't ready... they were very dry and bitter. So I can't wait to go back to it and see if they are ripe now and try these recipes!
Cool video with some interesting points. I just got 100 persimmon trees today that I plan to plant (and document on my channel) for wildlife. Thanks for sharing!
I have been looking for a video about this yellow orange looking fruit I saw all over my driveway.I don't have a clue as to what's the name of this little thing.I'm glad I found your video.Have no idea that I have Native Persimmon all over my property.Now I'm learning some of the wild flowers names.Thanks for sharing your video,that persimmon cake looks delicious. I might try baking it outdoor like you did.It would be so much fun.God Bless....
I wish I could find info concerning medicinal benefits and how to use them for the benefits for which medical problem. Ohhh, thank you for the links! Love to investigate before WW2. Thank you for the recipes!!
Awesome. We just bought a new house and we have a couple of these on our property. I was looking for ways to use them as I love making good use of natural resources. Thanks.
Hi Ken.. Had no idea there were so many different recipes for the persimmons fruit. I'm not sure if I have the street in my region but I will definitely look for me. I'd like to try the ice cream recipe that looks very promising. Hopefully I'll bring a couple of persimmons with you to the fall gathering. I would like to trying the fruit first hand... Excellent job as always ken.. I shall see you in three days. Lb says hi ..he can't wait to talk with bear and share his summer adventures with him. :-)
+Bob808Knight Thanks Bob. The fruit are awesome. Persimmon trees will grow in your area. If I remember, I will collect a few and bring them when we meet next week. The seed are easy to grow.... and in a few years you can have your own native persimmons!
My house in Charlotte, NC has a lot of bigger size fruit. That one was easy for me to identify because the fruits looks the same as the one sold in the store.
I've eaten wild Persimmons raw and really like them. This gave me some new ways to have them and share with family and friends. By the way, Ken, I'm thinking of starting a new playlist of outdoor life videos. Would you mind if I include some of your videos on it? I always ask before adding someone's videos on a playlist.
I have a difficult time understanding how come American persimmons are not being sold in grocery stores all over the states , just one taste test and it wins you over , as i write this i have a prok persimmon tree on the way, what a delicious fruit!!! Good video Thanks
Great video! I just planted 4 different kinds of american persimmons, 10 trees last year. All but One tree is growing well. 2 of them 9 the graft didn't take and it's growing from the Morse Nursery Persimmon strain rootstock. I made a video last September about them trees and may make another here shortly.
I first encountered persimmons as a kid in GA. Trust me...do not try to eat the green fruit!!! LOL. Just recently noticed a small persimmon tree with fruit just a short walk from my house. As an aside my friend told me the other day he found an American Chestnut, with nuts, on his property in Bradford County PA. That's cool!! Thanks for the info and for taking us along. ATB -Steve
+Karen Lee Thanks for watching and commenting Karen. Check the persimmon range maps for your area, they might grown there. Mushrooms are good, but need to be careful because many species are toxic.... ATB, Ken
Many thanks Ken for Information - interesting! Thumbs up! The cake - very good! Is the fruit like a Khaki? Sorry - my english is not good!Wish you a nice day and warm greetings Petra
Even though I'm only 15, I'm sure you're a great man to know, keep doing these great videos ! "Until next time, peace!" (PS: Following you from France)
Thank you so much for this video. Just found this fruit at First Landing State Park in the north end of Virginia Beach. Sadly the staff warned me against eating any fruits in the park as they were supposedly not known to be edible. Hah, I always taste wild foods..and of course with these and some really wild grapes I found were quickly the best fruit I have experienced. Now I see all the value they contain and have brought numerous seeds back to my zone 5 :( W. Md home in the mountain. I doubt they will survive this place, but will look for a micro climate area that gives them a small chance. Thank you so much for the fun video. As a prediabetic, I am more tempted to try the corn/persimmon Native American mix but yours looked really yummy.
I have five persimmon (female fruit) trees in the area around my cabin. I also have 8 male (no fruit) trees in the woods around my cabin! I took the ceiling down in my cabin due some older roof leakage and found hundreds of seeds along with raccoon excrement. Some woodsman has been trapping in the area so this fall there are hundreds of rotting persimmons on the ground. This is sad since the animals are (were) my friends!
+kinksbikes I collected the persimmons W.G. Jones State Forest in Conroe Texas and cooked the them at Sam Houston NationalForest, near Huntsville, Texas..
Ken I lost your information on the druids can you give it to me. do more videos there fun the way I feal when I'm out in nature wonder if I'm a druid in spirit 👍👍
i like this fruit a lot, i used to buy them in the store everytime i saw them, and no problem, but once it gave me a stomach ache so bad, much worse than appendix, i spent the rest of the day on pain killers. Maybe a year later i bought some persimons again, and tought maybe it was from something else... Just ate one, and again the same pain... Then searched on the internet, and it looks like pretty common problem with them
+karenchakey They are easy to grow from seeds . i get seeds from several sources. but my favorite is tree seeds .com i get and start every year and are very cheep . i live in northern Pa and they grow here . if you want grafted trees a good source is Nolin river nursers . if you can only plant 1 you will you will want meader , it is one of the few that are self pollinating , hidden springs nursery is a source for that one . john trout channel is a good channel for grafting them . cant grow the Asian verity above zone 7, but the american will grow in zone 5

+karenchakey Yes you should have no problem , they will have to be the american . there are 2 american and Asian crosses that should work for you also Rosseyanka and Nikita's Gift . the latter taste more like the Asian. there are not a lot of wild ones here but there are those that the old timers planted in fence rows for food . before people became so fussy . they are bad before a frost or put in a freezer and they are sticky and the american are a small fruit . another fruit you may be interested is the mulberry, they are easy to graft and are wild , you will need a northern verity also the Illinois ever bearing mine is still bearing and it is mid Oct. like persimmons they are male and female . but do not requiter a male to fruit to fruit .
I love mulberry and I have ordered them on line and paid a pretty penny for them too... and then I was talking to guy at work who told me he has a tree in his back yard, than I spotted the berries on the ground along my bike path too! I am not fussy, give me spots on my apples any day instead of spraying them and poisoning me! Thanks again for all the great information.
+Hike with Mike Awesome. Hi Mike. Thanks for watching and commenting from Florida. Guys we are lucky, persimmon fruit in our area are edible as soon as they are soft. We might not have a frost this year... Tab, Ken
My neighbor that bought the adjoining farm next to mine had a whole grove of those trees growing on his place, some were of good size with a trunk diameter of 18 inches or more and stood about 40 feet high, he came in with a bulldozer and shoved the entire grove down and into a pile plus any smaller saplings he destroyed those too by taking off the top layer of soil to a depth of 8 to 10 inches. Every fall I looked forward to gathering what I could find and munched on them. I had told him about the trees before he destroyed them but he did it anyway saying that they were in his way in what he had planned for the area, he let it grow back into weeds and finally sold the farm 5 years later. Also there was a grove of Sasafras trees that he destroyed which ended my gathering of roots to use for tea, I thoroughly despise people that does idiotic things such as that.
Ok ken, I want to start out with that I enjoyed your video, but your recipes seem to be missing a few things!. I was going to make your muffins but ran into a problem of no liquid to go with your recipe had to go look it up thanks for the video though
10* Oh yeah! America persimmon (and Japanese Hachiya ... looks like a woman's boob) are astringent and need to be cooked to remove astringency and mouth gumminess, ... or else totally ripen until sloppy soft. The Japanese Fuyu (tomato shape) is non-astringent and can be eaten like crisp apple, all the way down to super sugary sloppy texture. Had my first Fuyu in Japan, and fell in love ever since with persimmons. I can eat these until I get sick (like eating pistachio nuts). Please eat these, and plant these seeds across the outback for wildlife and human (hidey hole or bugout location) consumption.

Persimmons when ripe are wonderful. I wait to see if the deer are eating them then harvest what is left. I have not tried the bread, but love the jam.

Do you have them growing in your yard, or do you have to source them in the wild?
Thanks for sharing

+ShazBoo BookOwl It was tasty!
Ken I lost your information on the druids can you give it to me. do more videos there fun the way I feal when I'm out in nature wonder if I'm a druid in spirit 👍👍
I'm going to try this! Fruit are everywhere in Virginia right now. I just had a bunch raw mmmmmm.
how did you taste look like ?
+Richard Dickney Fairer The fruit taste sweet and juicy when ripe. Similar to a plum and apricot.
i like this fruit a lot, i used to buy them in the store everytime i saw them, and no problem, but once it gave me a stomach ache so bad, much worse than appendix, i spent the rest of the day on pain killers. Maybe a year later i bought some persimons again, and tought maybe it was from something else... Just ate one, and again the same pain...

hello, they can be reproduced with seeds?
Yes
nice job
does the Japanese strain have any medical value
+michael yahuwah I haven't researched asian species.... will check into it....
what does it taste like?
+Bert Sperling similar to apricot; very sweet and very slimy...nothing else like persimmons...
+KennethKramm sounds good, thanks. When are you visiting Oregon?
I've not seen these trees in my area looks like they are more in southern Ohio but I would love to come across one, they look dilish!

does it bear every year?
Every year
these trees are very plentiful in our area of west central Florida.....but they are only edible to the human palate if there is an early frost!
+Hike with Mike Awesome. Hi Mike. Thanks for watching and commenting from Florida. Guys we are lucky, persimmon fruit in our area are edible as soon as they are soft. We might not have a frost this year... Tab, Ken
My neighbor that bought the adjoining farm next to mine had a whole grove of those trees growing on his place, some were of good size with a trunk diameter of 18 inches or more and stood about 40 feet high, he came in with a bulldozer and shoved the entire grove down and into a pile plus any smaller saplings he destroyed those too by taking off the top layer of soil to a depth of 8 to 10 inches. Every fall I looked forward to gathering what I could find and munched on them. I had told him about the trees before he destroyed them but he did it anyway saying that they were in his way in what he had planned for the area, he let it grow back into weeds and finally sold the farm 5 years later. Also there was a grove of Sasafras trees that he destroyed which ended my gathering of roots to use for tea, I thoroughly despise people that does idiotic things such as that.
that is horrible. just horrible.
What is wrong with people? Heart breaking!
I see this is an old comment but I just have to say that is heartbreaking. I never understand people getting rid of bearing fruit trees.
Ok ken, I want to start out with that I enjoyed your video, but your recipes seem to be missing a few things!. I was going to make your muffins but ran into a problem of no liquid to go with your recipe had to go look it up thanks for the video though
One can turn a male persimmon tree into a fruit bearing female tree by the application of high nitrogen fertilizer for several years.
I bet if you cut off the burnt part the larger loaf would be just fine.
+Seofthwa Yes I did. And it was excellent....
Ive been eating them all week
+Brandon Henry mmmmm good!
10* Oh yeah! America persimmon (and Japanese Hachiya ... looks like a woman's boob) are astringent and need to be cooked to remove astringency and mouth gumminess, ... or else totally ripen until sloppy soft.

Had my first Fuyu in Japan, and fell in love ever since with persimmons. I can eat these until I get sick (like eating pistachio nuts).
Please eat these, and plant these seeds across the outback for wildlife and human (hidey hole or bugout location) consumption.

Don't throw the top away....I'll eat it!
