Got a persimmon tree here in the mountains of SW Virginia. This is the first year I expect fruit from it.

I’ve been told not to eat them until after a frost.

Mine got no care. It’s kinda sparse but OK.

Neighbor has a paw paw tree. Boy it just rains fruit when the time comes. Can’t give them away fast enough and they don’t keep well at all so lot goes in the trash.

I’m told pawpaw freezes well. That might be an option.

paw paw pulp can be frozen for one year
