Will Persimmons Continue To Ripen After Picking?
Yes, persimmons will continue to ripen after picking. However, the rate of ripening will depend on the type of persimmon and its ripeness at the time of picking. Some varieties, like Fuyu persimmons, can be eaten when firm and crisp, while others, like Hachiya persimmons, must be very soft and almost squishy before they are ready to eat. If you have picked a persimmon that is not fully ripe, it can be left at room temperature for a few days to ripen further.
