can't say that i know what it is, but my office dictionary sez:

	1.  A small, European tree of the rose family.
	2.  The fruit of this tree, eaten when it begins to decay.

(doesn't give genus or any of that stuff)

of course, persimmons are also unedible when on the tree, and edible when
they get mushy.
