Drive slowly to the wash ahead
Texas Persimmon (Diospyros texana) - Green vegetation lines this "wash" although water flows down it only occasionally. Compared with the surrounding slope, the wash bottom is only slightly wetter, yet it is moist enough to allow different types of plants to grow. The Texas persimmon thrives here and provides sweet fruit for wildlife that uses the wash as a trail. This fruit is different from that of the common persimmon. The Texas persimmon has a very sweet and pulpy fruit with a juice that stains your hands. In Mexico, this black fruit is used in dying leathers. The Texas persimmon has oval hairy leaves, a sweet black fruit, and a smooth grey bark.
