I was researching persimmons and really would like non astringent varieties that you do not have to wait to get soft. Could someone point into the right direction on it?
......
Also would they reliable fruit in the UK summer? |
These are the varieties ART offer, as you'll see Fuyu (the one I got) is non-astringent:
Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) Kostata
Fruits yellow-orange, very large, very good quality (astringent before ripe). Tree vigorous, upright, does not require cross pollination. Grafted tree.
Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) Mazelli
Fruits orange-red, round, very large, good quality (astringent before ripe). Tree does not require cross pollination. Grafted tree.
Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) Fuyu
Japanese non-astringent variety, fruits flattish-round, large, orange-red, excellent quality. Tree vigorous, does not require cross pollination. Grafted tree.
Their persimmon plants were a decent size for the money. As to harvest I've no experience but think you're very unlikely to get a decent harvest every year. Probably better to be thought of as a nice ornamental that is gonna maybe give you a fruit or two to enjoy and a decent crop every once in a while. |

I just checked a voice mail on my mobile and got a message from Suttons, persimmon they sell is Nishimura Wase cultivar. I might try that althought seems like I will need a pollinator for it for fruit to be non astringent as its pollination dependent. |
Yes, strange things re astringency. Might be worth ordering the Persimmons sheets off ART:
Factsheet F12: Diospyros virginiana - American persimmon
Agroforestry News Vol 5 No 2
Ash, Black walnut - nut cultivation, Forest gardening: root & bulb crops, kaki persimmon, cherries - species descriptions.
Agroforestry News Vol 14 No 3
Mixed species cropping, Sap from black walnut, Rose hips, apples in agroforestry systems, chestnuts � post harvest quality, world hazelnut culture, plants for windy sites (1) � trees, Oriental persimmon in Europe. |
