All the leaves have dropped and the orange globes hang and seduce the birds and rodents. How cool to be an urban farmer.

Welcome Trese, oops - I mean Carol! LOL! Your last
name is close to trees, how cool.
Your post got my curiosity up enough to go looking for photographs of Persimmon trees. Wow, they sure are gorgeous! I checked out ordering one online -- $84.00 potted. So I guess I won't be ordering one. I want to be a tree farmer in my next life.
