Thanks for the additional article with those pics.

I noticed that the head of the dove looks like the fruit.

I suspect if you could actually look at the stone in optimal light it might be easier to see all aspects. View form 2 eyes beats anything seen on a computer screen.

This is a very recent discovery.

I’ve never seen a Balsam tree.

We have a 60 year old Hachiya persimmon tree at my dad’s house. It seldom missed bearing fruit except the past few years.

It has some kind of disease that has killed part of the tree. I cut the diseased portion back leaving a 2 ft trunk which put out new growth. Now another portion of the tree is dying. It does have fruit this year, on the new growth portion.

Hachiya persimmon is a seedless tree and is described as a Japanese Persimmon.

I normally peal and dry 200 of the persimmons per year. Did not have fruit last year. I love to eat them fresh, but they all get ripe soon after 1st frost so they don’t last long.
