Persimmons deadly? I've eaten them by the case, sometimes the first thing I eat in the morning. Still kicking X 2. The concern might be with eating American persimmons before they are fully ripe. I don't like those, only eat the flattened, firm, fuyu persimmons.

Do some experimentation with companion gardening (and hopefully find a companion to assist :fl).
