American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana)

fruitlovers:
Ed, how is the native persimmon taste wise, and what is the size of the fruit?

Oscar,

The fruit are lbetween a quarter and half dollar coin size in diameter. They have a nice fruitty flavor. I personally really don't like persimmons but I was able to eat 7 or 8 of these. So that's why I offered the seeds.

Thanks,

Ed

There is improved varieties of American persimmon. http://www.simmonfruit.net/persimmon_improvement.html

Also can cross with Asian persimmon (Diospyros kaki). Have a great resource for persimmons in Florida, http://www.justfruitsandexotics.com/Persimmons.htm

Prok looks interesting along with the hybrids.

Thanks Null. I bought my very first fruit trees in 1985 from Just Fruits when I lived in Tallahassee.

Ed,

Indiana Nut Growers Association American persimmon improvement project, was carried on from Jim Claypool. I am sure if you contact someone from the organisation can get superior selections of American persimmon scion. http://www.nutgrowers.org/persimmon.htm
