Mrs. Tien said that this year, due to continuous rain, persimmons grew poorly, fell a lot and harvested less than last year. The square persimmons were soaked for 3 days and 3 nights, the water had to be changed once a day, after which the persimmons could be taken out and eaten. Photo: Thien Thien |

| According to the experience of long-time persimmon growers in Nghi An, persimmons should not be picked when it rains because they will taste bland. It is best to pick persimmons when the sun is up so they will be crispier and sweeter. Photo: Thien Thien |
