My neighbors have a persimmon tree. Some people believe that you can predict the winter weather by looking at the persimmon seeds. I did not ask my neighbors if they cut open one or more of their persimmons. If you believe in this way of winter prediction, this is how you do it. Spoon (shovel) shaped seeds mean that there will be a lot of snows. Knife shaped seeds mean that the winter will be very cold. Fork shaped seeds mean that the winter will be mild.
