When to Harvest Persimmons in Southern California

Persimmon harvest depends heavily on whether the cultivar is astringent or non-astringent.

Non-astringent types

Types such as Fuyu can be eaten while firm once they develop mature color and flavor.

Astringent types

Astringent cultivars generally need to become very soft or otherwise lose astringency before eating.
