Persimmon harvest in Ghasroddasht, Shiraz

Ghasroddasht is one of the oldest districts of Shiraz, the capital city of the southern Fars Province.

It is located in the west of the city. Ghasroddasht’s good climate and beautiful gardens have made the district famous across other Iranian cities.  

The neighborhood is home to many alley gardens, whose main agricultural crops are pomegranate and persimmon. 

Persimmon’s harvest begins in early October and ends in late December, depending on weather conditions. 

Fars province is the first producer of persimmon in Iran and Shiraz has a special place in this regard.
