persimmon tree
Orange fruit bearer
A persimmon tree is a tree that bears persimmons—sweet, orange-colored fruit with a distinctive astringent quality when unripe.
Native varieties grow in eastern North America and East Asia.
The trees are valued both for their fruit and their dense, dark wood, sometimes called white ebony: The old persimmon tree by the fence finally bore fruit this year.
