Anyone seen a D. virginiana cultivar with fruit this small (niabell grapes in the background for scale)? These are from an estate of an acquaintance that has since past away. We know these were nursery plantings from around 2008. I think the small one might have been a labeled male persimmon, but I don’t think they should be producing female flowers? I know some fruiting persimmon produce some male flowers on a rare occasion. Can the reverse ever happen? Could the larger ones be Geneva Long (they do get a bit larger and slightly more oblong before they ripen and shriven a bit)?
