To be honest…I can’t see much difference between the two. Fruit looks identical and so does the tree and leaves.Here they ripen at the same time. I have another hybrid (also Rosseyanka offspring) which also looks identical. About early ripening American: So far, the earliest ripening persimmon is Geneva Red. It has ripened and dropped all of its fruit already while the other early ones like Early Jewel, Pieper, etc. have just started. Nobody ever seems to mention this “old” variety but as it turns out it is still the earliest of all and has a really good flavor.
