Texas / Mexican Persimmon - Diospyros texana (Ripe)

            The Texas Hill Country is having a bounty crop of Mexican Persimmon this year. Once they turn black, the birds are on them in seconds. So if you see some, eat up. Photographers like them too :) I had about 15 today.

This is a native Texas shrub or small tree that ripens in various locations in the Texas Hill County at different times from the first of August way down south to the end of August in the northern portions.  They make a great landscape tree as well with their exfoliating bark (like a crepe mertle).
