Persimmon Fall Color

Here’s some information about One Green World’s persimmons that came from a gentleman in Nebraska that knows my great friend, Gary Fernald:

CROSS-REFERENCES
I heard from Clifford England, and he knows the OGW to Claypool cross-references.
He confirmed Claypool H118 is OGW “Prairie Star”.

OGW “Prairie Sun” is indeed Claypool A33, which Clifford says is very good at Lehman’s orchard, but not yet proven at his.
You will recall Lehman identified A33 as the FIRST good persimmon to ripen during the “fruitnut” interview you posted on growing fruit. org

The other 2 OGW varieties are Prairie Dawn = Claypool H55A and Prairie Gem = Claypool F25, but please forget these since Clifford says they have little merit. (sorry OGW but truth will be truth, always) - I’m also very disappointed in you for not keeping the original Claypool names. It’s rather confusing what’s you’ve done, isn’t it??)

So when Jerry told me to buy OGW Prairie Star = Claypool H63A, he was thinking of the best OGW persimmmon for me, but mistakenly typed H63A instead of H118.

Very helpful stuff,

Dax
