[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1833838, member: 43196"] It's folklore. I don't remember the wooly worms prediction exactly so someone else will have to answer that one. But, in the fall of the year when persimmons ripen and fall from the tree, you can take a seed (they have lots of seeds) from one and split it in half along the flat side. (This can be quite difficult to do, requires a sharp knife, and I'm always afraid of cutting myself. But the results are interesting and entertaining). In the center of the split half, (either half or both halves if it split well for you) you will see either a white 'spoon', 'knife', or 'fork'. In reality, what you are looking at is the embryonic persimmon tree. The appearance of a knife means you will have an icy winter, a spoon means you will have lots of snow, and a fork means a bountiful harvest and well supplied winter. [/QUOTE]
