    Friend had a big persimmon and decent size cherry blow over and needed them gone. I think I posted about it awhile back. Got over there today on my sick day... Had to go back a second time to get the rest of the cherry after dropping off the persimmon and larger cherry rounds. No joke, the larger persimmon rounds have to weigh somewhere near 100#

    Definitely feeling better....actually I just had an early dentist appointment but I took the whole day since I commute pretty far. Hopefully the other persimmon trees around his place blow over and I can go back for seconds.

    Nice score! How's persimmon for firewood?

    Now, you go wrap yourself in a blanket and sit by the fire and mom will bring you some nice chicken soup. You're sick ya know.:rofl: :lol:

    It's great firewood. Back in the day, Persimmon is what they used to make golf club heads.

    Is that perhaps a white mold on the bark or is that just how this wood looks?

    It's that flaky algae/mossy stuff that grows on the shaded parts of the tree. I've never burned persimmon before but I've been collecting it. I'll report back on how it burns in 2018 :salute:
