Where can I get some fuyu persimmons?
After moving from California a year ago, I planted a persimmon tree in my yard, but it's too young to bear fruit at this point. So, until my tree starts producing, where can I buy some fuyu persimmons in the Princeton area? I will travel, if necessary.
Last year, there were some "sharon fruits" at some stores -- those are the persimmons grown in Israel. They weren't bad, but they were a bit beaten up after the long trip from Israel, so they were soft in parts, mealy in other parts, and not quite the same as eating a fresh, crisp, sweet fuyu persimmon.
Please help... I'm getting the DTs due to this persimmon deprivation...

I found some at the Great Wall chinese grocery store on Route 27 in Franklin/South Brunswick. They were 5 for $3, which is not too bad of a price. They tasted pretty good, though they were picked from the tree a bit earlier than I'd like. Still, I'd take these over nothing, that's for sure.

You might want to try Delicious Orchards in Colt's Neck.. they have a wide variety of fruits (and vegetables), many of which I'd never seen in supermarkets. Perhaps they could even order them for you.
