D. virginiana oooooo i love the color of theseThe fruits started forming in late winter/early spring and will finish up in late July to as late as October! The trees themselves (if they are female/make female flowers) produce fruit after reaching a maturity of about 6 or 7 years.
" their taste is something like a prune, but less tart and more sugary" - http://www.wildedibletexas.com/2013/07/texas-persimmons-are-ripening.htmlI have not had the pleasure of tasting one myself, yet, but if the squirrels leave some for me I will happily report back!I've heard of people using these for jams and preserves, some people compare their taste (or maybe their texture) to sweet custard.
