Annual Persimmon Survey

[Mustardseedmama]

Hello All!

DD and I did our annual persimmon survey this afternoon, and the results from 10 persimmon seeds (gathered from three different persimmons, just to keep it all very scientific! ) was 9 spoons and 1 knife. DD is eleventeen going on twelveteen, and she is over the moon with these wonderful results!!!


So all is happy and bright at our house this absolutely gorgeous September afternoon,...I hope it's the same where you are!

If the kernel is spoon-shaped, lots of heavy, wet snow will fall.
If it is fork-shaped, you can expect powdery, light snow and a mild winter.
If the kernel is knife-shaped, expect to be "cut" by icy, cutting winds.

If this is true doen't it mean you're going to get snow? This is good?

I don't think it's common to find persimmon growing in the UK, Arn't they from the mediteranian?

There are other ways said to predict the winter in the UK; an abundance of hedgerow fruit, hawthorne, rosehips, sloes and so on are supposed to foretell a bad winter to come as are early arriving geese and nut-hoarding squirrels.
