At the end of September almost all orchards in Central Valley are harvested. Only this persimmon orchard - at California 70 - still bears fruit. The farmer estimates that the persimmons will be picked `in about two weeks`. Persimmons mature late in the fall and can stay on the tree until winter. Persimmons are actually not fruits but berries. In color, the ripe fruits range from light yellow-orange to dark red-orange depending on the species and variety.
