They will continue to ripen off the tree.

As far as tasting good it depends a lot on the variety. There are astringent varieties which taste like edible desiccant trying to mummify you from the inside out. These are fuyu persimmons which are not astringent. They’re crunchy kind of like an apple but very mild flavored. Personally I like them fully ripe or even ripened and dehydrated.

For me to get to enjoy them they have to survive the deer and my wife; I’m not expecting to get any this year 😅

Banana for ripe

This is our second season with it. It was full of fruit when we brought it home from the nursery last year but it dropped all that fruit from the stress of transplanting it.

Wild persimmons are tricky since they have to be sooo ripe to be palatable.
