===== Magical Uses =====
Until recently, in Alabama, it was supposedly believed that if a girl wished to become a boy all she had to do was to eat nine unripe persimmons. She would surely change her sex within two weeks!

If you are plagued with chills, tie a knot in a piece of string (one for each chill you've had) and tie the string to a persimmon tree. This should halt them.

If you wish to have good luck, bury green persimmons.
