And it does look like persimmon….
That looks like it is in a big field, and it reminds me of what I have seen with persimmons coming back from roots in hay fields. I know of fields that have been mowed for hay twice a year for the last 50+ years that will still have persimmon trees coming back every spring. By the time of the first hay cutting in spring, they will look just like your pictures. However, if the farmer ever starts cropping and starts gly spraying every spring, the persimmons finally die.
