Persimmon trees question

[chrischop04]

I know they get good and ripe after a frost and the deer will still eat some of them at least what they can reach anyways. It got down to 38 here last night will some of them start to get real ripe and start to drop or dose it need to be colder than that.

Don't think that was enough to do it

I'm in Rocksprings and most are ripe and have fallen already.

[chrischop04]

If they are orange for the most part then they are good to eat or could they still be a little better if I waited. Thought about knocking couple down before i got in my blind

[lameduck]

Sorry, I was talking about Texas persimmons and your asking about japanese persimmons.

[flywise]

I have always heard it needed to freeze a couple times but that was for the ones in illinois.
