Description
The American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is native to the eastern United States and is higher in nutrients like vitamin C and calcium than the Japanese Persimmon. Its fruit is traditionally eaten in a special steamed pudding in the Midwest and sometimes its timber is used as a substitute for ebony (e.g. in instruments).

Thank you Michael for featuring this art in your group Natural Scenic Landscape and Nature Photography.

It had just lost its leaves to the first freeze Heidi, when the leaves are up the greenery is so thick you can barely see the fruit. Thank you Heidi.

I don't think I've ever seen a persimmon tree. Neat to see with the fruit and no foliage. Nice capture, Pamela! f/v

Thanks for the compliment Laurie, I love the evening light play in this valley. It must be a fairly rare tree as every year people ask for the fruit.

Thanks Sandi, this was just after the first freeze so all the leaves are on the ground.
