Of course, you can buy these fruits all year round, but in this case you are almost guaranteed to get greenhouse products brought from Spain.

Pavel Golovatsky reminds that only immature persimmons knit, but this problem is most often fixable.

At a low temperature, the persimmon is saccharified and stops knitting.

Ripe persimmon fruits can be recognized by the softness and thin skin, under which the veins are visible. Fully ripe persimmons usually have dried leaves and pedicels.
