Introducing AFFN - a tree library for pawpaws and persimmons

Very cool. That’s an impressive list of cultivars!

While scrolling through I did notice you have the ‘Caramel Cocktail’ persimmon listed as a hybrid (likely due to the terrible marketing blurb from Gurney’s).
That’s actually just another name for Claypool’s ‘H-63A’, which is 100% D. virginiana.

Gurney's getting into the named American persimmon game

A possible update posted in a persimmon FB group: [image] [image] Edited to add a link to the post; it’s a restricted group, but if you join you’ll be able to read the discussion in the comments. The summary is that Gurney’s seems to be tissue culturing these based on plants people have received and Gurney’s statement that they’re on their own roots.
