Another pro-Beltramo's slant, ugh. Persimmons are hard to get rid of because no one likes them. At least the girls are doing good charity work - maybe that will aid in the recovery of the Beltramo's tarnished rep.

There are 2 types of persimmons. We grow the type that is ripe and sweet while still crisp. Usually there are far too many for us and we offer them for charitable donation. People actually ring our doorbell and ask if they're ripe yet or if we have any more. This is called a win-win, except for the squirrels and crows.
