Didn't pay that much attention to when the first fruits were ripe on it 
this year, and my Early Goldens haven't fruited yet(just grafted this 
spring), so I can't make that comparison on ripening period.
Did come across another persimmon(another roadside fencerow tree) this 
year, that was dropping ripe fruits around 1 September  - tasty, but 
fully-seeded; good timber-type growth.
