This is the second of three panels Image Description: A Persimmon Tree in the background in leaf with fruit. In the Foreground are two hares, above their heads is a framed image of two cartoon Tanuki eating persimmons on the ground. The second hare answers, "Most people first encounter persimmons in Asian food or films, such as seeing these Tanuki eating them in the Studio Ghibli film Pom Poko. American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) are smaller and sweeter" Image Description: A Persimmon Tree in the background in leaf with fruit. in the Foreground are two hares. The first hare has an exaggerated puckered face as they spit out the persimmon yelling "PEH" The second hare continues, "But they are also more astringent before they are ripe which only happens after they experience frost.
