PV, yup. that American or Texas pesimmon is certainly a different tree and fruit. The Oriental or Chinese persimmon is much more highly selected for use as a fruit crop. Hence, trees were selected to provide a maximum amount of fruiting wood and canopy that can be easily harvested. Hence, short and wide is better than tall and spindly. Our one tree could produce 75 pounds or more of fruit in a season. I learned to cook persimmon into all manner of guises.
