Persimmons World Records

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, China, stacked four firm persimmons into a single column with no glue or supports, beside the foam nets and gift boxes the fruit came in. Yanhao sets each persimmon on top of the last, steadies the top one with a fingertip, then lets go, and the four-high tower stands untouched for about 1.7 seconds before a fifth persimmon is lowered onto it. RecordSetter checked the release frame by frame; the fifth persimmon is still held when the clip ends, so the result is four. Round fruit, standing tall.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, China, stacked seven firm persimmons into a small pyramid on the palm of one hand, adding fruit with the other hand. With the top persimmon in place, Yanhao lifts the free hand away and the pile rests on the one palm with nothing else touching it for about 1.7 seconds, until the clip ends. RecordSetter counted the persimmons and checked the release frame by frame. A full hand of autumn fruit.
