Are persimmons common in Germany? I always thought of them, along with Paw-Paws, as a "delicacy" confined to the Midwest. I see that persimmons, at least, are more worldly than I thought.

We just have the fruit, the trees don't grow here. But in the city where I live there is an old botanic garden with some giant redwood trees, unique in Germany, which were imported in the 19th century.
