Thank you for making this video. I’m hoping to start a small persimmon farm, or actually just expand the small one that I already have sometime soon in Southeast Georgia. I just finished hanging up our very first batch of hoshigaki made with our Fuyu and giant Fuyu. It’s incredible how delectable the Fuyus are once they become deep red, soft and translucent. I just got out of my keto diet a few minutes ago to eat some, I couldn’t let my daughter eat them all without some help. I was dying with joy and making the same overwhelmingly happy sounds that you do over how they are the best tasting fruit in this world!

Just wait until your Saijo tree is 6-7 yrs old. We planted a 5 yr old tree and just 3 years later it's producing 70+ persimmons per year. I know the Giombos are considered superior, however the Saijo persimmons are IMO a perfect size for snacking.

Thing is if you let the non astringent ones ripen they will sweeten up, a fuyu which is hard is closer to an apple tastwise, once it is soft, it is sweeter than honey so your non astringent ripened ones simply are in a different state of ripeness you can achive with non astringent ones as well! Love persimmons btw. have a tree (non astringent italian chioccolatino) in my Austrian garden.

The fruit looked like persimon but its texture was the worst thing ever. Now watching this video made me understand that there are more than one variety. I enjoyed watching you eat them... yes they are the most amazing fruit to eat. Thanks from New Zealand.

@TC-eb4wu

Fuyu and Jiro are so similar that some growers believe they are the same tree. Both have only female flowers. They are unusual because they produce fruit without pollination. Unpollinated fruit will be seedless. If there is a different persimmon variety nearby that has male flowers, the Fuyu and Jiro will have seeds. Seeded or unseeded, the fruit will be the same size and taste. There is no advantage to having a male tree nearby, unless you want seeds.

Does your Chocolate have leaves that are similar to Fuju? I have a old Fuju with big leaves and great fruit. Years ago I bought another Fuju and a chocolate from a local nursery and the leaves on both are small and look exactly like my wild American persimmons on my farm. The twigs are thin like a American also. The Fuju I know isn’t grafted and I think the chocolate isn’t grafted either. They both look identical. They’re about 6 years old and have never made fruit or bloom. I think I got screwed. My good Fuju produced in its 4th year.

I also had a new bare root Saijo I bought and the graft died. The rootstock tree has a 6" diameter trunk now. I've been trying to graft a fuju to that tree for 6 years now. The 6" long grafts will all get about 3' long and healthy and then die every summer. I graft all kinds of stuff and raise and sell pecans and never seen anything like it. That tree rejects Asians.

I think it would accept that. I’ve heard the really good American persimmons taste better than Asian varieties. That’s hard to imagine.

@@TC-eb4wu I did not know that if you had a second persimmon tree it encourages it to develop seeds. The reason why II want to have 2 trees, it's because I read somewhere that if you cross pollinate 2 fruit trees of the same kind but different varieties, they produce a lot more fruits and they are much bigger and tastier. I don't know if this is true or not, and I don't know if you can do this with persimmon trees.

@@Figs4Life - I had a single Fuyu tree for five years. I enjoyed the delicious seedless fruit. After five years, I bought another type of Japanese persimmon tree. Then, my Fuyu tree started having seeds. The seeded fruit had the same taste and size as the non-seeded fruit. Interestingly, if an insect-pollinated a blossom, the tree would have seeded fruit only on the pollinated blossom. If an insect didn’t pollinate a blossom, that blossom would develop seedless fruit. I would have seeded fruit and seedless fruit on the same tree. If you want two persimmon trees, I recommend that you plant them far apart. Persimmons are an inexplicable fruit.

@@Figs4Life You'll only get pollination (and seeds, etc.) if your second tree has male flowers, but most selected/named persimmon varieties produce only all female flowers. (Persimmons are generally what's called dioecious, meaning trees are basically either male or female, unlike apples and lots of other fruits which will have male and female flower parts on the same tree and be able to pollinate each other AND make fruit.) So if you plant 2 or 20 different persimmons, as long as they're all true female varieties like Fuyu, you still won't get cross-pollination and seeds.

Climate affects the taste of the fruit. Taste will probably be significantly better in areas with longer, hotter summers as opposed to milder climates like England, the Pacific NW... Variety also makes a big difference. Ripe astringent-until-ripe varieties like the Giombo he recommended are much more flavorful than firm non-astringent persimmons.

Actually you probably never have tasted a good persimmon, they are a blend between apple, honey, melon and pumpkin , depending on the stage of ripening one more or the other. Really nice fruits, love them. The best thing is, they ripen end of November beginning of December when the frost hits and the snow starts to fall, so you walk out in the cold and pick fresh fruits from an otherwise by then barren tree literally loaded with golden or orange fruits!
