| Persimmon with calyx |
When scouting for persimmon trees in the winter after the leaves and fruit have fallen it is not possible to determine the sex of the tree. If you look on the ground around the tree you might spot, among the dead leaves, a small calyx that looks like a star with 4 points. This is the calyx from the persimmon fruit and is the only indication in winter that the persimmon tree is a female.
