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?
Me eitherThe bark doesn't look like any persimmon I've ever seen
That bark is definitely NOT a persimmon. At least no persimmon variety I know of.First picture is the bark of the tree they are on.
This fruit is about half the size of persimmons I've seen in the past.
I think we have a winner! Google "mexican plum bark". Looks like it.Mexican plum
Are they any account for the deer to feed on?Mexican plum
That's what I was thinking. Fruit looks like a persimmon but, it's very early for them to be falling from the tree. And the bark doesn't look like a persimmon. Is it possible that it's a wild plum or cherry? OP needs to see what the seed looks like, we will definitely know if it's a persimmon or not by seeing the seeds.The bark doesn't look like any persimmon I've ever seen
