Diospyros Kaki
The Chinese date plum or persimmon. The fruits
vary in size from that of a medium-sized apple to that of a large
pear; they also vary much in their flavor and consistency, some
being firm, and others having a soft custard-like pulp, very sweet
and luscious. The Chinese dry them in the sun and make them into
sweetmeats; they are sometimes imported, and in appearance
resemble large-sized preserved figs. These plants are being quite
largely cultivated in some of the southern States, and the fruit
is entering commerce.
