Autumn brings orange color…
Dalat persimmon season starts from mid-September, but it is not until late November and early December that the persimmon trees begin to shed their leaves, gradually revealing branches laden with fruit. This is also the time when visitors can come to the garden, pick and harvest ripe persimmons themselves.
The most famous fruit of Da Lat is the crispy persimmon variety. Crispy persimmon is a special gift that nature has bestowed on this land, because it does not require much care, is not afraid of wind and rain, and is not picky about the soil.
