Well, Shep (sorry to be so familiar!), I'm no afficianado of the fruit, although I used to have a 3-wood in my golf bag made from persimmon timber, and as a child I remember climbing a neighbour's huge persimmon tree and chucking the fruit at passers-by from a great height.... Here's a site that probably has more information than you need...scroll down to "Varieties". There is also a list of contacts at the end of the article. Regards, Shax |
