Definition
A genus of tropical and subtropical trees known for producing edible persimmon fruits and valuable timber like ebony.
Etymology
From Greek 'dios' (divine) + 'pyros' (wheat, grain, or fruit), literally 'fruit of the gods' or 'divine grain.' The genus was named by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century based on ancient Greek terminology.
Kelly Says
The persimmon tree and the ebony tree are cousins in the same genus—so an expensive ebony piano and a sweet persimmon fruit share the same scientific family name that means 'fruit of the gods'!
