These are the persimmons I grow. Early Golden is the latest by far. Mid October and none have ripened yet. What concerns me more is that its a large tree, that consistently bears very few fruit. Does anyone else have this issue? I also don’t like the flavor of Early Golden as much as the others. Garretson is a bit smaller than the others, but the other 3 have top notch flavor, IMHO. I’m thinking of chopping the Early golden, so that it creates a regrowing stem and then grafting it to one of the others. Any last praise for Early Golden before I chop most of it? I was going to keep it in a way that I would still have a bit of it for pollination.
