WOW! A real delicacy. Almost as expensive as caviar. Did you find them on Amazon? An acquaintance has a persimmon tree. He puts a tent of screen material over the tree when it has fruit. If he doesn't the birds will peck at the fruit and ruin the fruit. He said the birds are really attracted to the persimmons.
usually one can find them on amazon and ebay.
Bird do peck some of them, but what will really do things in if they are left on the tree are possums and raccoons. If there is a problem, grow the astringent persimmons and pick before that are fully ripe allow to ripen in the home. The non-astringent persimmons are edible before they ripe and it is harder to defeat the possums and raccoons. I have dogs that keep the raccoons, possums, coyotes, etc away. But the birds will some, but usually not most of them. The dogs may also get some fruit that is their due for protecting most of them.

Interesting. So this is the source of that song. I never knew what Wassailing was before. I didn't know there were evil spirits in orchards that were frightened off by torches either.
Was Sail is drinking to the health, in this they are wassailing the apple trees. Sometimes about Christmas, I have seen wine being sold with spices to be prepared for a wassail drink. There are recipes for making it.
