All I can say is that my persimmon trees are quite large, but I am not a botanist so my suggestion could very well be wrong. Hope you find out what it is!

i have to collect more detail of the tree,next time i'am going to enter the garden and se more closely for leaves and other fruits and more details that can elp,thanks for the concern, persimon tree can grow big as this tree?
Maria dB
I just thought it looked like the persimmons that fall from one of my trees. They are about indeed about the size of chestnuts. I have a second tree that gives persimmons that are only the size of strawberries. It can't be lack of sun as the tree gets plenty. Maybe they're just too old....
