Persimmon Farming through a Pandemic
Halloween is pau... so pumpkins may not be high on your list anymore. But today we are talking about another orange fruit popular this time of year - persimmons!
Local fans of the fruit know about the persimmons grown in Kula. The fourth generation family farm restructured recently and the three brothers, John Noel and Clark have each carved out a piece of the business. We talked to Clark Hashimoto who is harvesting trees his grandfather planted that are close to 100 years old.
