Persimmon 
Practically all Persimmons grown on the Pacific Coast are native of Japan 
or Northern China. The trees are very ornamental because the huge leaves turn 
to bright reds and browns in the Fall at the same time the tree is loaded with 
richly colored orange-red fruit. Persimmons are enjcyed as a salad fruit or are 
eaten out of hand and are ideal for table decorations during the Fall months.

Cherries 
Cherries are the first tree fruit to ripen and there is nothing more 
appreciated by all the family than ripe, sweet cherries. All sweet cherries 
require cross-pollinization; therefore, two or more varieties should be 
planted together for cross-pollinization. 
While the sweet cherries bear irregularly in Southern California, the 
sour cherries, or Pie Cherries, are entirely satisfactory and require no 
cross-pollinization.
