   My persimmon tree is covered with tiny fruit, but I love the ripe persimmons too much to sacrifice any to the dyepot. However, the tree is self-thinning, and dropping lots of tiny fruit, so maybe. My tree is a Fuyu, whose fruit you can eat while they’re still firm as apples, not the ones that are bitter and astringent until they get mushy. I wonder if they work.

     Mine is the Texas persimmon…more info here, it is definitely different from yours….I’m still on a such for black from this fruit but the yellow, brown and greens I get (with indigo) make me happy in my journey!

   I will be anxiously waiting to see what you do with warp skeins. Hope your shoulder comes along nicely.
