American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana)
We got a text message yesterday saying that Iris and Steve and their families were planning to go to the farm today, so we went, as well. As usual we spent most of the day outdoors and it was very nice. We all enjoyed watching the three ‘littles’ playing together. Dorothy wanted to harvest some persimmons (American Persimmon, Diospyros virginiana) so we shook the tree and the fruit rained down on us. It would have been a good idea to lay a tarp on the ground first, but we managed to get most of them. She took them to the cidery where she works to flavor some cider.
