| A large branch broke off my Fuyu persimmon tree during the night. It was loaded with full size fruit but most of it still green. A few were just starting to blush. I'm harvesting but wondering if it's worth it. Will the fruit ripen off the tree? I am in Southern California. |

| Most of these are very green. Only a few are showing any start of a blush. |

| Wow that's a lot of fruit, good for you. My newly planted fuyu came with one fruit and fearing deer would eat it, I took it down and placed on kitchen sill. It ripened and it was yummy! Looking forward to having loaded branches like yours PS: my persimmon had more color than yours, don't know if that makes a diff |

| Yeah, I often pick them when they are just starting to turn color and they ripen on the window sill. I would always be trying to get to them before the squirrels. This year is the largest amount of fruit I've seen on this tree. This is only from one branch. There is so much more. Now I see I should have culled some of the fruit before it matured. Some of the lower branches are touching the ground. I can't reach the fruit on the top branches anymore. And I had the tree pruned by professionals this past winter! Hope your one persimmon turns into many in the years to come! That's certainly what happened to me. |

| Bicky, If you want them to ripe sooner then place some in a brown paper bag and throw in a couple of apples and close the bag. Tony |

| I'll try that Tony. I put a banana in each bowl and left them overnight with towels over them. Time to look for some big paper bags - and apples. Thanks! |
