They sounded too good to not add 
Just curious what you mean here… Americans are pretty small, there are some varieties that are bigger (2-2.5") , but they’re still smaller than an Asian usually. You want something even smaller than an American persimmon? (Or you mean heightwise?)
Kassandra and Rosseyanka were smaller fruit sized hybrids with to me mostly (if not all) Asian flavor.
UKR 15-9, and Sosnovskaya i heard may have stronger American flavor notes based on what I read and talking to Cliff a few days ago.
I have seen nickel and dime sized wild fruit.
Yeah sorry I meant tree height size

Where are you getting your trees from?
I bought the Nikita’s gift and Rosseyanka from Chestnut Hill Nursery, I am buying the persimmon rootstock from Burnt Ridge Nursery, scion from Englands Orchard.
Chestnut Hill already sent me the persimmons and it’s been as low as 9 degrees here so I have left them in the box for now in my garage, praying they’ll adapt before they die!

@Paul-VA … Cliff at Englands Orchard has SuperRosseyanka… a bud sport of Rosseyanka that per Cliff… the only difference is larger fruit.
I checked out both at his orchard tour this year and they both had a heavy fruit set but the SuperRosseyanka fruit were noticably larger.
In his KY orchard they both had fruit that was orange but still very firm… mid October.
