Are these persimmon seeds in this coyote scat?

[lol]

Probably so, but I can't say 100%.

Yes

 

[TX300mag]

Persimmons seeds for sure. I don't know about the scat.

 

[lol]

Yes

I guess I need to find where they're coming from. My only persimmon failed to produce this year.

I could be wrong. I broke it apart to see what seeds were in it.

Not doubting you, I just really don't know how to identify scat. I did just read that a N Carolina study showed that 95% of coyote scat collected from Aug-Oct contained persimmon seeds. I bet that's what it is.

Coyotes LOVE persimmons.

Coyotes LOVE persimmons.

Along with coons, possums, foxes, skunks, bears, and dogs.

If your persimmon tree has produced in the past you must have another tree somewhere close. A persimmon tree is either male or female. Need both for the female to produce fruit.

It dropped all its fruit early. I don't think it got fertilized or it was stressed by drought.

If it produced the fruit then it was fertilized. There is definitely another one around somewhere.
