We are growing two kinds of persimmon trees.
One bears sweet fruits and the other astringent(sour) fruits.
Both of these trees ripened lots of fruits this year !

These are sweet ones.

These are astringent ones.
It's too bitter to eat this kind of persimmon, so we dry them after peeling or neutralizing the bitter of the persimmon with the dry ice or alcohol.
Then they become very sweet and delicious.
