These are NOT persimmons. I know them well. I haven't found any persimmons holding fruit this year. Late frost took its toll I believe. Usually persimmons begin dropping in mid to late September here but I located a grove of 10 or 11 last August that were dropping early. It was on a overlooked ridge just across the line from public. Had the 6 mature bucks bedded up there gorging themselves on them. The day they shed velvet all but one dispersed. The one that stayed now lives on my wall lol.

See what the seeds look like. That will help alot to possibly identify it.

The quickest way to settle the debate on whether or not it's a persimmon is to taste it. Summer persimmons are... unmistakeable.

Lol I ain't no greenhorn

Looks like a "Mexican plum" tree from my google image search.

agree, wild plum... deer love them, just haven't found them yet. They make some of the best plum jelly and plum cobbler. We used to have a few on my farms in middle TN and they are delicious.

I helped my buddy in SD plant 4000 trees this past May for windbreaks for pheasants on his land. Three rows out of the 12 we planted were wild plums for the soft mass for deer

Not just any wild plum, but Mexican Plum. Other wild plums have very different bark.

I didn't realize the picture with tree bark was the actual tree holding them. I thought it was a picture showing all the fruit on the ground (you can see quite a few in the leaves). Yea, that's definitely not persimmon bark LOL. Never found or heard of a mexican plum.

The second picture is clearly a persimmon, I live in Cheatham County and trees are loaded with em.

After a lot of research it is definitely a Mexican Plum tree the following picture is from google and then the picture I posted up top of the tree in the woods

Found this while scouting this week. It didn't appear like anything was feeding on them but I'm curious as to what it is. Never seen one to my recollection. They any good for deer?

looks like a persimmon to me, and yes deer eat them when they are fully ripe laying on the ground!

Download the app "picture this" it has helped me a lot in identifying pants and trees I'm not familiar with.

I know that was a typo, but still funny

I didn't say the tree was a persimmon, I said the fruit lying on the ground was a persimmon.

The fruit is not persimmons. They are Mexican plums
