Interesting Japanese persimmon cultivars

Excellent info. My unpollinated ones didn't have the concentric rings.

Thanks Kaz, it is very interesting to know.  On 3rd photo you posted, are both of the fruits soft and fully ripened?

Lovetoplant, no, I like to eat my persimmon when they are hard/firm.
Both of those fruits in the 3rd photo are still hard and crunchy. The pollinated one (brown inside) tastes very good and sweet, but the non-pollinated one is very bitter and astringent. If you want to wait until the non-pollinated one gets soft, then it is supposed to lose most of the astringency. If they are not pollinated, I just cut them open and then toss them out, so I need to graft more Chocolate and other varieties that will have male flowers to pollinate the Hyakume next year.

Thanks for all the detail informations.  The pollinated one looks amazingly delicious with brown flesh.
