Persimmon

Persimmon tree ID'ed by the blocky bark.


I found a Persimmon tree recently. It is interesting to see a branch scar so close to the ground. The top of the branch scar is only 3' off of the ground. Measuring the diameter of the tree it was 11 inches. The height only came to about 47 feet so it would not be a record tree.

Note: I am not talking about state records. I am talking about my records which I run across in my woods wanderings.

This Persimmon is not growing tall because it is under a Shingle oak.

There must be some other reason for this scar than a failed branch. That reminds me when I look at some people, I see things which don't seem right. But I don't know the reason and would do well to pray for them rather then judge them.
