That looks similar to mine, including pretty vigorous. I bought my tree in 2013 from Burnt Ridge and this year its holding 7 fruits for the first time. These are the ones that I’m not sure are true to variety.
I’ll be interested to see if our leaves look the same after they turn color. It’s one of the few trees that kept most of its leaves through the heavy winds.
Vincent, where did you get your Izu? Is it a Dave Wilson tree on lotus rootstock?
@murky Sky nursery. They didn’t indicate what kind of rootstock at that time. Never fruit yet. I think in our areas American persimmons are perform better and sweeter than Asian persimmons.
Tony,
Do you pick them before they fully ripen? Which ones taste better counter ripened or tree ripened?
The weather is getting colder and the critters are after all the fruits. I think counter ripened are as good or even better than tree ripened because I let them soft ripe to get the sugar level up a bit.
My error: GORILLA TAPE
Outside working yesterday I noticed my combined stakes were Gorilla taped. Getting old, finally. Lots of changes recently & including prescription glasses. Couldn’t remember I have been using Gorilla Tape for several years, now.
Best regards,

Probably the very best ‘Deer Magnet’ is ever going to look. This has been a magnificent year here in IL for Fall color, too.
Look delicious! Are Yates seedless, BTW?
Nice. Those look as orange as my Coffeecake now, and my supposedly Izu.
Very impressive. Seems an early variety.
Yes, I think it’s even earlier varieties than Saijo.
My orchard neighbor persimmon. No idea the cultivar 
And just planted 3 on my property today
Coroa de rei, fau fau and Rojo Brilliante
The coroa the rei I put parallel to the neighbors persimmon
Rojo brilliante
Fau fau
Here is my collection of first year grafted trees putting on their fall colors. The American persimmons all seem to go yellow, but some of the kaki and hybrids are really very vibrant. The very bright red one in front is Masumoto Wase and the rest of the very bright ones are mostly Kasandra. So far those seem to be the most intensely colored. It will be interesting to see how things react when they’re in the ground next year.
Some of my trees are starting to change colors.
