Late: Comparing American persimmons by specific traits - #12 by cousinfloyd
@Harbin lives in the CZ Rep. where he has a very long, growing season. He’s talking about the third week of October.
‘Deer Magnet’ has the longest lasting persimmons while staying on the tree far into the winter. You could be eating delicious persimmons during December & January with a foot or more of snow on the ground, at least here you could. That’s a pretty cool image. Flavor of Deer Magnet is very-very-good.
Barbra’s Blush so far has two people saying it was the best American persimmon they had tasted. @harbin is one and another is a member that visited Cliff England. It’s one I haven’t tasted. It came as quite a surprise to Jerry Lehman when I told him that two people said it was their favorite . . . Jerry was shocked. I know he was thinking 100-46/Lehman’s Delight was his favorite.
It is congruient to say that both of the people said next or second place was H63A. That was my favorite as I await to taste a Barbra’s Blush next to a H63A.
Tony and I pretty well agree that ‘Morris Burton’ is sitting up there with H63A & Prok but I don’t know if @tonyOmahaz5 is harvesting WS8-10 / Barbra’s Blush.
Notice the spelling. I mistakenly labeled plants I sold as Barbara’s Blush . . . and wrote every single tag incorrectly & that’s after Jerry Lehman wrote Barbra!
