Yes, a persimmon . . .
. . . of the fuyu variety. There's two acres of fuyus at Uncle Jake's orchards which are ready for picking now.
The handle of this cue . . .

. . . is persimmon, harvested from a tree felled from his orchard several years ago.

The grain is remarkably straight, especially for a fruit tree.
