Flavor & Texture of American Persimmons

When fully ripe, American persimmons offer a honey-sweet, rich, and custard-like flavor. Unripe fruit is astringent; however, it transforms into a soft and deeply flavorful treat as it matures. At our Persimmon U-Pick, you’ll discover common varieties like ‘Meader’ or ‘Yates, ’ each with its own subtle flavor and texture.

When to Pick: Timing is Everything

American persimmons are typically ready to pick from mid-September to early November. The exact timing depends on the weather each year. The fruit ripens gradually, and it must be soft to be fully sweet. For the best Persimmon U-Pick experience, plan your visit when the fruit is at its peak. Therefore, we encourage you to come early in the season to ensure the best selection.
