Persimmons 2024

Having established H63A, Barbra’s Blush, Dollywood, and Morris Burton, this year I went “all-in” on H-118. I grafted it to my established DV frankentree, I planted a purchased tree in the ground, and I grafted it to one of my own small seedlings planted in the ground. [So far only the purchased tree is growing. :)]

I’m glad to see your endorsement. But a couple month’s ago, I saw a review by a European member (maybe Harbin?) saying that H-118 develops ugly black spots on the skin; I think (my unreliable notes) he also said that it’s late. It made me wonder whether H-120 might have been a better choice.

Have you fruited H-118? If so, can you comment? If not maybe you have information from other growers / reviewers. Thanks!
