Gather HUNDREDS of wild persimmons in minutes
Read me!
This won’t work with any old wild persimmon tree that you come across; the conditions have to be right. As I mentioned in the video, this tarp method had never worked for me before I found the tree you saw. The weather leading up to this was very dry without much in the way of inclement weather events. I believe this led to the persimmon fruit starting to dry on the tree, which weakened their grasp to the branches. I don’t think this will ever work in the early part of my Persimmon season.
The other part is that as their grasp to the branches becomes weaker, they are susceptible to falling rapidly in weather events with high winds. Another persimmon tree that I monitor had every single fruit fall off (over a hundred of them) overnight from a light storm. So, if it’s been dry and a storm is coming up, check your persimmon spots!

I'd love to see some of the recipes of what you use all the pulp you get from these for!

Just posted one on my community page!
Persimmons are too valuable to wildlife to harvest around here.
I am soooo envious. Persimmons in NY are a rarity.
Heard of them but never seen that tree. That must be down south.
This is correct! If the fruit are not ready to easily shake loose from the tree they are not edible yet. In other words, if you have to pull hard on the fruit to remove it from the tree, it is definitely not edible yet.
but did you ask the tree for persimmon permission before shaking it
So satisfying!

please add full closed captions to long form videos if there's capacity. the auto generated ones are never fully accurate and therefore inaccessible

That would be sweet!
My tree is loaded, but too tall for me to get to the branches!

Have you heard of this ingenious invention known as the long stick with a fork in it

Maybe a broom handle or something else that can extend. I use a pole that's designed to help put up lights on my house. I can extend it 20 feet.

@@lyca0n535they don't have to use the apple/pear picker. Just a long pole would work. You also didn't have to be a jerk about it.
When using Wilscrafted dried Sambucus Nigra once placed in honey it isn't purplish pink but a brownish purple is thus normal?
The persimmon trees on my land have got to be 30-40’ tall, I wouldn’t be able to do this trick

I wonder if we coppaced the trees, if the branches would come back lower?

Take some nylon Mason line, tie a fishing sinker on one end, toss it over the branches, yank the line. TThis is how the Chinese get ginkgo berries from trees in the parks in NYC. In later years, I used that method to harvest mulberries from some rather tall mulberry trees.
Bro where you based
Unless they are rotted, they make the roof of your mouth crumple up like a washboard!
OK, you got the persimmons. Now, how do you get the pulp without making a mess of your entire kitchen? I've tried pressing the fruits through sieves, colanders and even mesh laundry bags (that you'd use for underthings!), and I still get pulpy "club hands" from the work. And there's always a chance that some seeds slip through holes in the mesh...how did Native Americans do it?? Thanks!

Depends on your latitude (how far north you live).
