Joe, I will contact the person regarding the persimmon wine and see what details I can get now. But I am virtually certain that he was not referring to Diospyros kaki 'Fuyu,' but rather to Diospyrus virginiana. This is the only "persimmon" we know around here.

You might be surpised as to how many weeds produce wonderful edible fruits and how many can also be used as salads or vegetables. You just normally won't grow them in your locality.

You are right as usual Joe. Cattails would be a good example.

"It is very true that some plants could be a nuisance and considered weed in other places when people don't place value on them. The weeds are unwanted plants. Thus anything I want to get rid of or don't like anymore would become a weed."

Reminds me of an old saying-- "Weed is a cultural term"

That one may be a different kind of weed, the hallucegenic type! In California culture, that one is medicinal, Twisted Evil
