Looking for some persimmon varieties that Cliff England lost in a big freeze. A forum member has volunteered to send me some rojo budwood. I prefer astringent varieties as the birds prefer the non-astringent ones. I can offer honan red and saijo in trade. How about the others?
Rojo great fruit and large
Picudo which is excellent and hardy enough to live here great fruit and large
Gordo must have been a seedling of Tamopan it is the picture on the FB page with the concentric ring Lost
Sharon the true Sharon From Israel David Lavergne has this one
Ribes = (Reba us) Non-- Astringent it s a great fruit but lost to the cold
Also looking for hao river, Fire Crystal; Chienting: Gwang Yang: Tam Kam.
2021 Update:
hao river-small fruit only one branch on my saijo tree
Fire Crystal first fruit this year
Chienting found, will graft again next year.
Gwang Yang,Tam Kam non astringent so not growing
Picudo should have fruit next year
Rojo still waiting on fruit
Fire crystal from Just Fruits. Got it last year and has 25 fruits and is taller than 8 feet. Bought a yamato also but the graft died and I had to buy another one.
Consider pruning that Picudo into a single trunk. This one tends to grow long, willowy branches. It needs a lot of pruning to shape it into a manageable tree.
I never heard about Picudo until today. It’s a pity: all persimmon spots in my home garden are already taken. The last one was Tamooan planted this spring…
