I have a challenge for you: Can you tell them apart? Which one is tomato and which is persimmon? And how do you know — color, sheen, blossom end marking, shape? The answer is found in the comments.
Welcome . . .
I'm Greg. My goal is to help you grow food at home, with a focus on vegetables and fruits -- especially avocados -- in Southern California. I write a new "Yard Post" every Friday.

On the left is a ‘Champion’ tomato while on the right is a ‘Fuyu’ persimmon.
The bottom part is different. Not sure what it is called but is easy to differentiate. Also the shape of the persimmon is more uniform. Color is slightly more orange.
The one on the right is the persimmon? Maybe because of the slightly hazy film on it?
