I totally read this as “NTFS” and thought this was going to be a joke about shitty file systems.

I had no idea persimmons came in blue, neat!
Show threadrobocallMar 10
Is that so?
Show threadCatoblepasMar 10
It looks like the saturation was cranked up on the OP image, the pictures on Wikipedia of Texas persimmons show them as ‘blue’ in the way that blueberries are blue, very dark and almost black. But I only knew of them as orange, so as far as I’m concerned that’s pretty blue!

I’m not a plant person but I do make my own dyes and pigments from organics. One of the ingredients I use to precipitate the pigment, or as a mordant, which can change the colour, is aluminum sulphate - also used as plant fertilizer to raise soil acidity.

The chemicals that produce colour in plants are super sensitive to PH, there’s a plant based paint company, I think in Europe somewhere, that makes everything from green to red to blue out of just red cabbage.

I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here, but it is indeed super neat.

So what are they? My best guesses counterclockwise from the top:

  • ???
  • Yangmei/Chinese bayberry
  • Apple? But with pink flesh for some reason
  • peach? But color is strange
  • chocolate pudding fruit maybe? Or another Diospyros species, there are so many.

    Sweet cherry, mangosteen, mulberry, peach(?) and apple(??)

    Oops I meant clockwise.

    Reverse image search I found somewhere saying they’re Grenadine apples. But there are several types that are pink in the middle. My personal favorite apple ever are Lucy Glo which are also pink 🩷

    I recommend checking out Weird Explorer if you’re interested in learning about new and weird fruits.
    Weird Explorer

    My name is Jared Rydelek. I am on a mission to find and taste every species of fruit in the world. In 2012 I decided to do something crazy: Document every fruit in the world! I didn't know it at the time, but there are over 70,000 edible species of fruit, so this is impossible. Still I am stubbornly trying to do it anyway and I am having the time of my life in the process. This series has brought me to over 50 countries, I've reviewed hundreds of fruits and there is no sign of it stopping! - Don't know where to start? ◘ Check out my top video playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvGFkMrO1ZxJldWKpSAhhnxuPYVeCt8oj - Want to help support the show? ◘ Visit my patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/weirdexplorer ◘ Visit my website: www.weirdexplorer.com - EMAIL INFO ◘ If you have a business inquiry or want to send me something, my email is below. ◘ PLEASE do not mail me something without asking first. ◘ Sorry I do not sell seeds.

    Looks like a blue persimmon of some sort. Never seen one either.

    Maybe diospyros virginiana?

    Not affiliated with them, but if anyone has money to throw at interesting fruit, I got a box of assorted fruit from the Miami Fruit Company for Christmas and it was pretty cool to have weird fruits to munch on for a few days.

    There may be other companies doing the same thing maybe with a better assortment or cheaper, but that’s the one I know off the top of my head.

    Few years ago I found medlars (German: Mispel) in my local grocery store. Had never seen them before. They look somewhat like apricots but taste like a mix of other fruits. Really tasty for a not so popular fruit. It’s cool to make such a discovery. :)

    Mangosteen? The rind hardens like leather & makes a nice container/ornament.
