A North Sydney grocer I visited today had both the soft persimmons (not squishy-ripe yet) and the harder version which they listed as “Fuji Fruit”. The fruit were very expensive at $3 to $5 each so, although tempted, I did not buy any.

TaeHwa, are there any differences between Korean and Australian persimmons?

I’m in Sydney at the moment and haven’t eaten a persimmon for a day-I will have to track down a place that sells them.
