Best Persimmon tree to buy

TooFarNorth:
Hi, all.  I am planning on planting a Asian persimmon this winter.  I am looking at Fuyu types, but am confused.  I want a large flavorful fruit that in non astringent.  Upon reading descriptions, it depends on where you read as to which is best  I was thinking about getting the Hana Fuyu.   I have only tasted Fuyu. Do any of you have a favorite?  Please help me decide, I need to get my order in.

Thanks,
TFN

If you could find rojo brillante in the USA that will be a great cultivar to have. The fruit is large and non astringent.

Thank you for your reply, EvilFruit.  The video was awesome.  Now to try to find one on my side of the pond.

My issue with non-astringent persimmons is they are NOT flavorful, just sweet.
By contrast, even wild American Persimmons have an amazing, complex flavor when past the astringent stage.

TooFarNorth:
I grew up eating wild persimmons.  I like them very much.  I have only recently tasted a Fuyu and found it to be flavorful and sweet, though not as complex as the wild ones.  I did like the texture too.
