David, is that one a Texas or a common? I have never seen a Texas persimmon in person, but that one in the photo looks much like a common persimmon. We usually wait til at least 3 good freezes until we eat them. Otherwise your mouth is gonna pucker! It seems like the more ripe and mushy they get, the better they taste. I know the deer, coons, turkeys and just about everything else out there loves to eat them!
I know bucks love persimmons... This one the buck make scrapes under every year.
