American Persimmon Family Tree

Here’s most of the data in a single figure. Corrections are welcome. [EDIT: After building up quite a bit of data, I have thinned it down. What remains are only cultivars in circulation, with the exception of a few included in their ancestries.] [American persimmon ancestries]

Saw it on Don’s Facebook page.
