When do you pick a fuyu persimmon?

Answer 1

They are edible when still hard and pale, but taste best when picked as they are softening and no longer continuing to deepen in color. They are a deep orange when mature. They ripen quite late in the persimmon season.

Answer 2

In very late summer, early fall the fruit will turn bright orange and when it yields ever so slightly to pressure, is ready. Picked fruit can be eaten when crunchy, like and apple, or allowed to soften. Some peel the skin, but it can be eaten if you don't mind the toughness.

Answer 3

Mid-fall to early winter - especially October and November - is the time to pick persimmons.

Specifically, persimmons (Diospyros spp) can taste either astringent or not. Astringent persimmons may be harvested once the tree's leaves go from green to autumnal red and yellow. Non-astringent persimmons will be harvest-worthy once trees drop their leaves.
