Common persimmon fruit and bark (Diospyros virginiana), at the Virginia Coast Reserve, Nassawadox, Virginia. 

My sisters recall with great clarity the time I persuaded them to bite into unripe persimmons, more as a remembrance of my deep and constant brotherly affection, and not because the astringent juices curdled their tongues. If you have never eaten an unripe persimmon I recommend it. The experience is at once indescribable and unforgettable.
