I recall some discussion about this one on Facebook but I can’t remember where. Probably Persimmon World.
I saw maybe AFFN orchard has it since Red Fern is sold out (i think he has Iowa Arb. South and Josephine/FruitDump.. former planted in 2023 latter in 2025, so a chance of scionwood maybe from former).
I saw they posted here a week ago trying to acquire another persimmon they don’t have yet (so they seem legit and active in the community).
He does say in his notes of that persimmon thats its pale yellow when ripe.
I emailed asking if they will offer scionwood of it, or still too young of a tree.

The proper term is amplicons. Each marker primer will typically generate hundreds of them in a single PCR event. Chemical laboratories refer to them as PCR fragments or byproducts, and grudgingly as amplicons. Sequencing laboratories prefer the term. The biology literature discusses “the PCR product” – which refers to a specific length selected among all the byproducts. Length selection is determined from a histogram of lengths and is typically the value with the most occurrences.
PS AFFN did answer. He said his Josephine is too small to get cuttings of, so maybe another year (or wait for Red Fern).

I topworked two American persimmon saplings with ‘Iowa Arboretum South’ last year and the scions each grew about 6 feet (inside tree tubes). It will still be a few years before they bear fruit. If I go collect seed at Red Fern Farm this fall I’ll try to ask Tom about it, see what they look like in his orchard.
