The Final Fruit

The Final Fruit

When the fruit of other orchard trees is long gone, the Hachiya Persimmon is at its peak. The late-ripening persimmons hang on through early winter rains and snowstorms. By the holidays, they dangle like giant ornaments from the barren branches, making a most natural Christmas tree.
