Like the tomato, persimmons are not commonly considered to be berries, but
morphologically the fruit is in fact a berry. The tree Diospyros kaki is
the most widely cultivated species of persimmon. Typically the tree
reaches 4.5 to 18 metres (15 to 60 ft) in height and is round-topped.[1]
It usually stands erect, but sometimes can be crooked or have a willowy
appearance. The leaves are 7–15 cm (3–6 in) long, and are oblong in shape
with brown-hairy petioles 2 centimetres (3⁄4 in) in length. They are
leathery and glossy on the upper surface, brown and silky underneath. The
leaves are deciduous and bluish-green in color. In the fall, they turn to
yellow, orange, or red.
