dcarch, actually there are 3 types of Eastern persimmon:
1. One you can eat when it's hard (almost seedless),
2. Other you have to wait until it's very soft otherwise it will leave a strange unpleasantness in your mouth.
3. Mixted - has strange uppleasantless when seedless and sweet when has some seeds after polination.
The one I've got is the third type with the nice chocolate very sweet pulp.
Actually there is one tipe to get away this strange flavour just after several houres of passing such persimmons in the warm (30-40 C) water :wink:
PV, do you want me to send you these persimmon seeds to try? Probably it is hardy enough even for Zone 6b/7a
