I'm the type that likes (to try) to have most everything labeled properly. I was given some Persimmon seed, and was lucky enough to snap a photo before the seed was collected.

The seed is flat and small (about the diameter of a match-stick) with about five embedded to each fruit/berry.

The tree itself is low-growing. When in fruit, the branches hang low almost touching the ground. The berry(?) is about 4 inches across with four prominent corners, so it's round though it's almost square.

Her tree looks as though it's almost dead, so we're trying to grow a few more from seed. I'm not sure if the bitterness varies between species, but the berries from this particular tree have always tasted a bit sweet though often leaving the mouth with a 'dry' sensation. Thanks in advance. I thought I'd leave this one to the Persimmon Pros.
