To all,

I have been politely informed that my previous post citing persimmon 
as a fruit needing frost to ripen was incorrect.  The species ranges 
to southern Florida where frost is obviously rare, so I should have 
realized this.  My misconception was based on the fact that the fruits 
ripen very late, which in the northern part of its range usually means 
after first frost. I apologize for the mistake, and I am grateful to 
be properly informed.  It is good to know that there are those on the 
list who are both vigilant for facts and discreet with their 
corrections.
